Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the ID of these fossil structures. They're found in a fossil patch reef of Bartonian age in Northern Spain, at the moment I am exploring the possibility that they could be very large oysters of some kind, they could possibly be stromatoporoid fossils though (however they don't have any obvious internal layering or structures). Other fossils nearby include small oysters and solitary and colonial scleractinian corals, along with large nummulitid foraminiferans. The layered fossils were very hard, and I was not able to take any samples, interestingly they did spark in contact with a hammer, could this be due to silicification? One of the nummulites also had a shiny metallic luster. Hope some of that helps, thanks in advance for any help.

From the album: Eocene Corals of NJ
I am pretty confident in this identification. The curve is in the plane of the longer axis which is supposedly diagnostic. These are cited as the most common coral in the Manasquan Formation. Found in Monmouth County, New Jersey.- 1 comment
