Kassie Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I had found this weird fossil working on my bosses cabin. Need help to identify what it is! I've had so many people tell me it's either a fossilized honey comb from a bee hive or a honey comb coral! I'm just confused and asking for help!

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 A tabulate coral colony I think. Nice! And a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranzBernhard Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Welcome to TFF from Austria! @Tidgy's Dad is spot on! 2 hours ago, Kassie said: I've had so many people tell me it's either a fossilized honey comb from a bee hive Yeah, they can look indeed like that! But up to now, no fossilized honey comb from a bee hive has been found in the fossil record, I think ! Franz Bernhard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Moved to FOSSIL ID. I agree with coral. Something like Favosites. perhaps? Around where in North Ohio was it found? County would be fine. @erose 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Favosites would be a good guess but knowing the actual formation and age would help narrow down the possibilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassie Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) It was found in an old river bed near Kenton Ohio! At my bosses house in clay! I don't know the county name but I hope this helps.. it looks like a bee comb I had found what looks like a chamber in it and the most interesting thing is that it's been burnt.. you can smell the burnt comb in the rock Edited December 1, 2019 by Kassie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
