So i got this calcareous limestone and it include type of gastropod and bivalve fossils and other types which i couldn't identify. Specimen from a reefal complex. What you guys think about flower like texture ?

How sweet it is to be seen by you! My youngest decided to get thrifty with his BOMAD spending, despite repeated “requests to do otherwise” (BOMAD = Bank of Mom and Dad) Nonetheless, I think this is a VAST improvement visually. Sorry for the overenthusiasm? NAH!

All-- I'm newer than new, but I've been here before and received great help. Will you please help again? I found this approximately 4.5" x 4.5" (11.4 cm x 11.4 cm) piece in a creek bed (Spring Creek; altitude ~700 ft [213 meters] above sea level) in south-central Missouri about 26 miles north of the Arkansas border. (Very near Rockbridge, MO.) I THINK it is either a coral or a sponge and hope I haven't already misidentified it! Thank you for helping this total novice. --Bill

Good morning! I have been puzzling over this piece of what I believe to be a type of rugose coral, a little over an inch across at its widest, 1.5 inches tall but a fragment of a whole. The closest thing I could find might be ketophyllum perhaps? It was found on the western edge of the Otisco Valley in central/western NY state, between Skaneateles and Otisco lakes. The layers if the area I am know of are is Ordovician/Silurian/Devonian, i am not certain as to its original bedding plane location as it was a post thunderstorm erosion find, all sorts of fresh material came down the gorge, but i think it came from above the “famous” layer of Staghorn coral that emerges on the east side of Skaneateles lake. It popped right out of the shale I split and is almost graphite in appearance, the "stump" nodes that look like broken off appendages and the vertical pattern (vs the typical horizontal growth bands in the common staghorn corals) make it very different from anything I have found in the area, it almost looks soft-bodied, realizing how unlikely that is. I love the detail in this piece, it looks like there may be preserved damage/healing that occurred in life but I may be reading too much into that thought. Additional angles attached, just quick ipad shots but they may be helpful. No visible septa on either end, nothing radial or even patterned, although it looks like there may have been an internal, central structure. Thank you! It may have come down from the Devonian Otisco Member of the Ludlowville Formations (Upper Hamilton Group)?

As the title says, I went to a local fossil club meeting last night. I always purchase tickets for the fossil lottery and selected these when my tickets were called early. Looking for an ID.... @MikeR What is the "frosting"..... Also kudos for a good presentation on Cretaceous Inland sea.. I learned from Joshua about identifying the shifting shoreline boundaries of the WIS by testing/core samples of current rocks, using the types of rock and imbedded fossils to identify the shoreline. There are always questions on TFF about finding fossils... Turns out Joshua has a really accurate map.

Any ideas on whether this is bone or a piece of coral. Found it in the beach in the outer banks last week

A neighbor gave us this potential fossil. We live in Florida and assume it is ocean related and possibly coral but we aren't sure and have not found any images online that match. Any assistance in identifying this piece is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone. I recently purchased a 55 year rock collection. My friend has decided he's done with his lapidary pursuits. I was going through some of the many boxes, and I found what I believe to be a chunk of fossil coral. He didn't remember where he found it, and we have a friendly disagreement regarding fossil coral vs pet wood. Any thoughts would be appreciated. They spent most of their time traveling the western states, but did make a trip to Australia.

Coral (5) from the Campanian St. Bartholomä formation, Styria, Austria (Gosau group, Eastern Alps)
FranzBernhard posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, here I am again with a recently (10/14/2018) found coral colony from the Campanian St. Bartholomä-formation in Styria, Austria (Gosau-group). Its very poorly preserved and I have only very little hopes that it is possible to assign a genus to it. I don´t think its an Actinastrea, it seems more like a Barysmilia (according to Baron-Szabo, 2014), but I am really clueless. First pic is a polished part of the specimen. Preservation is very poor. Second pic is the "upper" surface, its strongly worn, only the position of the corallites can be seen, with some occasional septa. The polished area is located at the bottom. Third pic is an oblique side view. The specimen measures about 10 cm in its longest dimension. Worn-down corallites can be found all around the specimen. Thank you very much for your patience, help and opinions! Franz Bernhard

I love collecting Devonian corals. No two are exactly alike and some like this specimen are much rarer then the most collectible fossil (complete trilobites from any period) from New York. Confluens is a highly sought after coral species. Only found in a very limited area. I find one colony for every 500 solitary Heliophyllum halli and only one colony in ten is complete like this specimen. That's why this piece had to be prepped. Well preserved epibionts can be seen in great detail thanks to the meticulous prep job. Heliophyllum halli confluens (Hall, 1877) Middle Devonian colonial rugose coral 88mm x 71mm x 60mm. Found 9/12/2018 in Livingston County, New York. Found - Mikeymig, Prep - Malcolm T. BEFORE AND AFTER PREP PICTURES

Been trying to help someone who found these in backyard. My expertise on corals is limited to the ancient. I know these can resemble some older material but I believe all are recent. Ant thoughts?

I have a small few things I'd like for you to look at and get your opinion on. What looks to be bone fragments. They span about 3-4 inches across this large rock.
