Is This a Giant Seahorse Fossil?

Also, it seems implausible that a person would
find such a fossil on a corestone leftover
from surface weathering.

Finally, it is interesting how hoaxers often
can be too lazy make their own hoaxes, but
rather use other people's images made for
contests as purely artistic creations.

A paper about real fossil seahorse can found in:

Teske, P.R. and Beheregaray, L.B., 2009. Evolution
of seahorses' upright posture was linked to
Oligocene expansion of seagrass habitats. Biology
letters, p.rsbl20090152.
