Hi everyone, It has been a while since I've posted here as Family matters require changes in Priorities.
I spend my fossil time at the Ohio Fossil Collector site on FB. A Friend has posted a recent find of hers from North Canton Ohio. This would be a Pennsylvanian age if it is not a Glacial Erratic from the North. The Central Fern/Fan like piece is the troublemaker. I have checked and not found anything close to this Fossil. I have checked Fossils of Ohio; nothing. I have google searched Fossil Corals of Ohio, Fan type corals but I do not think they were around yet. Searched the Bryozoa's, nothing. The stem area of this resembles an Aulopora, but none that I know of resemble the Fern like growth of this Fossil. It is covering a Coral under it. I don't see any patterns that would suggest a Crinoid.
The growth pattern is interesting. It has a central core stem. Then branches out forming the fern-like pattern.
The one photo enlarges well and shows all of it.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
