In pursuit of a sensation, they often write that nuts, bolts, gears, springs, spoons, jewelry, candlesticks, hammers, nails and other objects of human life are found in sedimentary rocks that are several hundred million years old. The Kramol portal opens the curtain over three of these artifacts.

Kamchatka mechanism

The find is about four hundred million years old, and it is very reminiscent of modern gear mechanisms - such loud words were replicated in the media. Still, the find contains hundreds of cogwheels, and gives the impression of being part of some kind of machine. It was immediately dubbed the "Kamchatka Mechanism".

In fact, these are fossilized ancient echinoderms, Laudonomphalus regularis.

Ancient bolts-screws-screws

Fossilized sea lilies, seemingly the creation of someone's hands - they look like screws or screws.

One of the options for a headline in the media:

A bolt was found in Moscow, which is 300 million years old

In the North Caucasus, in the Krasnodar Territory, a resident of the city of Labinsk, Viktor Alekseevich Morozov, in the Khodz River, during a fishing trip, found an amazing artifact, a stone with a "microchip".

The find was investigated at the Nanotechnology Center for Collective Use of the Research Institute of Nanotechnology and New Materials of the South Russian State Technical University (the new name of the Novocherkassk Polytechnic Institute). After the answer from the research institute, the versions about the ancient barcode, sim card or message from extraterrestrial civilizations remained fiction: this is a fragment of the most ancient marine inhabitant - the crinoidea, whose second name is sea lily.

The answer from the research institute:

A sample 15 × 11 × 4.5 cm in size, gray-brown in color, with a polished area, is an organogenic material that consists of fragments of skeletons of sea lilies (crinoids) and a subordinate number of valves of small rounded shells up to 1 cm in size. - Silurian-Devonian, that is, 410-450 million years. The very same fragment of the lily stem is presented on the sample along the stem itself in the axial cut
