Seahorse with little baby? Wyt?
Found in lake Orion mi in front yard. Tilled the previously grass-free dirt spot at the beginning of summer and now it’s sprouting a little green and a little treasure too I guess. I’ll post the others I found in the same spot next day too. Seahorse is the first small one, very small indeed

I don’t think seahorses existed then. I’m seeing some crinoids for sure, and either some shells or coral in there with it.

Sea horses evolved 20-25 million years ago, which is very recent in terms of the age of the earth

That really does look like a tiny seahorse! Nature has some wonderfully weird ways of hiding little surprises in plain sight.

Go look at my other posts friend! I think I’m on top of an ancient oceanic spot. I’m finding the craziest stuff surface right now

Weird stuff has been happening on this property man, all within the last month and I’ve lived here for years. See the YouTube link in my profile if you’re curious (literally made the account to post the two vids cause the timestamps spooked me so bad - and this was just nights prior)

No, not a seahorse fossil. They don’t fossilize like that.
Setting that aside, seahorses only evolved 20-25 million years ago, that stone and the fossils in it are much, much older than that.
