Hi, At Trefil quarry, Wales, I found these. They were found very close to one another. This site was a carboniferous coral reef. If anyone can ID, or point me in the right direction, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

I was on a walkabout with my smallest pack and came across this specimen in the bottom of a dry canyon bed. It has obviously been somewhat tumbled and rounded over the years. 16" at the widest dimension. I found a couple of other specimens that are much bigger. Over 2x larger. This was the most interesting due to the strange folds of material on the top and right side. My first guess was some type of reef material but I've never seen anything like this before and cold find nothing online even coming close. Maybe just a bunch of fossilized shells on end? With the odd folds I sort of ruled that out. I only have this single shot. My bad. Going to try and bring it out in my biggest heaviest duty pack...a tad over a 2 mile ruck to the closest road. Thankfully downhill. Unless someone tells me it is a leaverite.
