Found this curious shape imprinted on some small island shore, and still can't think of what could have caused it. Was it some organic remains and its chemical reaction with the rock? Or was it something within the rock, some kind of fossil that the erosion has brought to the surface? I'd like some help in thinking here...

I have shot this curious form in the stone on the Glavat Island, (Adriatic, Croatia), while waking the beach...Time
Date/Time was 19-Dec-2004 12:34:14Lighting
Here's what the camera chose: Shutter Speed 1/250 sec, f/8, ISO 64, 0.00 eV, Pattern metering, Flash did not fire, and Focal Length was 51 mm.Equipment
Sony DSC-F828 was the camera, with no added attachments, and used out of hand.Inspiration
I always liked the rock, especially the wide variety that can be found along the Adriatic coast and islands. This was one of more curious samples that I have found.Editing
The photo was just cropped a tad, nothing else was done to the original.In my camera bag
To me it is easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. So I load my photo vest with whatever I might need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The vest's many pockets usually contain two cameras, spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small photo clamp instead of a tripod. Sometimes I'll include a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. The vest has large-lens pockets that holds a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate if I plan on being out for the whole day. There is about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. With these, much can be "mcgyvered" along the way, so that's all I need. Recently I make it even more comfortable for me, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch. Simplicity and comfort; two best ingredients in most situations!Feedback
Always have a camera at hand, as you never know what might appear and become instantly interesting and inspirational. And when you already have a camera along, look at everything - from tiny things thru wide landscapes! There is no way that you would not find something worth shooting!
