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. -

These are the only two specimens of this form in my collection. I highly question the identification but I can't find anything similar in the literature. Perhaps these aren't even rugose corals. Found in Monmouth County, New Jersey. -

These are doubtfully T conoides. They do have a curve in the plane of the smaller axis which is supposedly diagnostic. Found in Monmouth County, New Jersey. -

Thin sections made from Rugose Coral sent to me by forum member CanadaWest.. There are seven corals in this collection. The thin sections were photographed using a polarizing microscope or a stereo microscope with a simple polarizing kit. I was not successful in making good thin section from all of the specimens so some photos are not the best possible. This post is in four parts. Part 1 Coral 2 Rugose Coral, Carboniferous, Livingston form., Invemere, BC Photo 2 - The initial polishing of a transverse section did not look promising, but a detail (Photo 3) looked interesting Photo 4 is the same transverse section with further polishing and photographed with a stereo microscope with the Darkfield stop in place. Photo 5 is a detail at 15x magnification with crossed polars only. The Rugose Corals are also presented as web slide shows.

The microscope thin section photos are of a Rugose coral, Heliophyllum is an extinct genus of coral that existed predominantly in the Devonian period. This specimen came from Mejdovb, Morocco. The coral is from a group of Rugose corals sent to me by forum member CanadaWest.. The thin section slices of the coral clearly show where the softer parts of the coral were replaced by minerals. The specimen. Cross section and transverse slices. Selected area cross section details Selected area transverse section details.

Rugose coral Middle Ordovician Amsterdam Formation Rock City Falls Saratoga CO., NY -
Nothing but rain and more rain here for the longest time. Stumbled on this rock in a pile of landscaping stones. I've found small bits of this but not with segmented cylinder/cone stems. Also bryozoa? The gaps are filled with quartz I believe. These pics are just one side. All but one is covered in stems and bryozoa? Thanks for looking.
