This is a little bit out of my range for age and location, but a friend of mine was asking if this coral he has could be identified. He is a mineral collector, got this in a collection purchase, and the only info he has for this piece was that it came out of Florida. I know it's not much to go on, but I'm hoping it's distinctive enough to get a possible ID and age. Thanks in advance

This was found in Douglas Pass Colorado years ago. I’m not sure if it’s coral or a sponge or nothing. Thoughts ?

Hey everyone!! I sent pictures of my fossil, that I found on a Devon beach a few years back, to a museum in the UK to see if they could help me identify what it was! I personally thought it looked like a claw! And my sister thought a mussel! Turns out it was neither! I have attached the lovley little reply I received from the gentleman at the museum so you all can read too! It’s a Horn Coral! Which is a solitary coral, that became extinct many MANY years ago! Pre-Jurassic Period! I'm posting here in the hopes that anyone else might have any more information to add about this? I’m quite excited, and I’m ready to put it in a little frame somewhere so it can stay safe. Any and all input is appreciated! Thank you guys! Abby C FullSizeRender.MOV

Found this in a stream in Hocking Hills, Ohio. Guessing it’s some coral or something…??

Hi everyone, found this fossil in limestone area in United Arab Emirates which was formed 66-74 mya, according to local geology museum. Not sure what it could be but looks very pretty for sure This fossil was found on the ground in sandy areas where bivalves and small shells are found quite abundantly.

Found near Sandy Hook NJ. Last photos are under a microscope. Thoughts?

Hi! Me and @Tales From the Shale are actively thinking of going on a fossil hunting trip in Alton Illinois (right by St. Louis, Missouri) this week to analyze the Mississippian period St. Louis limestone and I'm wondering if anyone else has gone down there? https://www.mindat.org/feature-4232679.html We're specifically looking for fossils of the Meramac group and though we have a quarry or two, we're thinking of also checking out any road cuts in the area. I'm wondering before we go on the fossil hunt (likely this Saturday), could anyone offer some info on any good road cuts in the Alton area as well as quarries and if there are also a descent amount of fossils in the Spergen limestone too?

Ive got some business in Coralville, Iowa so I did a walk along the river whilst I had some time to kill. Fossil corals everywhere which is no surprise as that’s where the name comes from. Here’s two. The walk along the Iowa River was really peaceful. I didn’t see a soul.

Found a real nice exposure of the Glen Dean Formation in central Kentucky recently. Oh man did it not dissapoint. So here is some of the best crinoid material I have ever found. A calyx with partial arms, pictured with some stems and ossicles. A single ossicle, with crinoid spins, that are still sharp. Both of which are as common as gravel here. A small peculiarcalyx and crinoid cup. This massive gorgeous Pentremites sp. I found this one on my first trip, so unfortunately no scale but I will upload more of it later. More large blastoids this time around as well. It may not be as diverse, but I have only seen this quality of blastoids in the Thunder Bay of Michigan. An uncrushed Composita sp. A nice spirifid of some variety. I want to say Neospirifir but that is likely incorrect as it does not fit the range. The partial pygidium of a Kaskia chesterensis? Mm mm mm! These delicously preserved Zaphrentis spinulosum. I have some monsters of these, but again they're from a previous trip so I will post them later. I did find some gastropods and tons upon tons of crinoid stems and bryozoans as well, here is one image of them with various other pieces. The Glen Dean of Illinois occurs nearly on the same Latitude as this locality does. However it does not compare with the sheer quality and quantity to be found here in Kentucky.

These were from a creek bed with some great exposure. Abundant Ammonite impressions and oysters and some great layered bedd deposits. These pieces have me scratching my head. One looks like it could be a coral or crinoid base? Some appear to have bark impressions and look like stem pieces. The curved one is also interesting. Seems to uniform for just a rock. I’ll post them individually Thanks! patrick

Part two…looks like stems …Maybe, palm, cycad or fern? I guess another possibility is bone.. ?

From the album: ECHINOIDS & OTHER INVERTEBRATES
This coral is the subject of QUIZ here on The Fossil Forum. There are some unusual features of this specimen and a second specimen involved in the QUIZ. If you wish to know more about this coral (the quiz is not as easy as you may think) and see other images, you can go to this thread: http://www.thefossil...584#entry217584© ©Harry Pristis 2011

Which type of coral is this? (And how old it is if possible to answer?)

I drive 8 hours with a friend to a location he remembers from his childhood as yielding a lot. Oh boy it did. 100% worth the drive. Lake Huron, among the agates, pyrite, yooperlite, has some extraordinary Devonian fossils. All fossils were collected from the beach of his family’s property except for the fenestelid bryozoan, which was found at a gas station on the way there. please enjoy this collection of gastropods, petoskey stones, various tabulate corals, crinoids, stromatoporoids, bivalves, Brachiopods, tenteculites, horn corals, an unidentified agatized fossil in jasper matrix, and a pudding stone I felt like showing off too. Thanks! I highly recommend the area.

Any help identifying this is appreciated. Pretty sure it’s a fossil of coral, barnacle or some other similar sea life but I really don’t know. Like my other posts, comes out of the Florida estate fossil collection that I purchased at auction. Once again thank you all in advance for any help.

This one was found near a small village called Palayas in Hidalgo County NM and from my research the areas age is from the Maastrichtian era. It is likely just a rock ( maybe calcite?) But worth the keep.
