Shimmeron Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Any help with these would be much appreciated. I found them on the South side of Key West Island, Fl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieLynn Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 All of Key West is ancient fossil coral reefs. So bits of conglomerated marine liffe with coral too. That's a really nice geoded coral in the last pic. Did you see the big 6 foot high coral wall on the north end of the island? It is all fossil coral and shells. Really amazing. 1 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimmeron Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 I didn't get to see that, I'll have to look for that next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The top pieces seem to contain fragments of crinoid stems. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bone Daddy Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The first three are beach-rock concretions. Probably consisting of Miocene-period fossilized seashells. That last one looks like some kind of eroded coral. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
