Hi I have syringopora coral that I want to make more visible. Right now most of it is buried in limestone. I don't want to remove all matrix, just make "tubes" more visible and appealing. Will soaking it in white vinegar do the job?

The attached photo is a group of Thamnopora corals found in the Devonian Martin formation - dolomites of central Arizona's Verde Valley. There is also a group of tabulate corals that I suspect are Syringopora sp.. but some collection notes by others don't show this genus, but they do show Aulopora sp. as found in the same location. See the small worm-like cluster near the center of the image. Can any of you confirm which genus is in the image?

Dear forum members, Here are some items that I found on an island close to Vodice, Croatia, Europe. The location was ca. 30 meters from the adriatic sea at a hight of ca. 8 meters above sea level. The items were at the bottom of a building site for a house. They were about 2 meters below ground level, i.e. 6 meters above sea level. Here are two pictures of an item which looks a bit like a coral. The closest match I found on the internet was the picture depicted on the right hand side of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringopora There was an ab

A very common genus, ranging from Ordovician to Upper Carboniferous to ?Permian. This specimen shows good internal detail of the narrow corallites (1.2 - 1.5 mm), including septal spines which are not diagnostic and may not always be present (this may be preservational). The long, infundibuliform (funnel shaped) tabulae are characteristic and show in some of the longitudinal sections. Scale bar 1 cm long.

syringopora retiformis find from the creek today
matthew textor posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone this is matthew again today in the creek I found a neat coral fossil called syringopora retiformis here is a photo -
Here are two interesting Pennsylvanian fossils that I bought at the Flagg Gem and Mineral Show in Mesa, Arizona (~4.5 inches wide) from the Apex Mine near St. George, Utah hosted in the Callville Limestone. A Chatetes sp. sponge is coated in azurite and malachite. Syringopora sp. coral molds are in goethite with significant germanium and gallium values. The goethite replaced the limestone. See this USGS article about the mine: https://pubs.usgs.gov/bul/1577/report.pdf

I found this by the side of gravel road so difficult to say formation, but I'll go with upper Pennsylvanian. I think I'm seeing syringopora in the majority of this rock. There's also a small area that looks like aulopora growing on net-like bryozoan. If you can verify any of this, please do. Thanks.

Very new at this, have been out on the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands and came across this little piece. The closest I can find online are some photos of syringopora? What do you think?

I am pretty sure this is coral of some sort but not certain. Almost looks like the tentacles of an anenome but I am sure anenome is too soft for preservation. Found in the Pennsylvanian oolitic Winterset limestone. I will post a few pictures and will certainly take more if needed for an ID! pic1 and pic4 were brushed with a bit of water to enhance the contrast a bit. Thanks for taking a look! pic1 pic2 pic3 pic4
