Silurian coral from Gotland

[GeniusKevin]

last summer I went to Gotland, Sweden, which is famous for Silurian sea life:

 

 

there are some cliff by the west side of Gotland, and i found a lot of coral fossil there

 

 

first one i found seems to be Planalveolites fougti

 

and then stromatoporoids

 

then Heliolites

 

also Favosites

 

also some Tetracoralla:

 

and pieces of Crinoidea:

 

and some other stuff:

 

When I look at these fossil, I actually felt went back to Silurian, quite amazing

Saying nothing new here,but there used to be a Gotlandian(alt.:Gothlandian,Gotlandium,Gothlandium), and there was a reason for that.

You visited that reason

Beautiful corals!!!  I especially like the first one (the "chain coral") - gorgeous!

As Monica said, this appears to be a chain coral, not Planalveolites. Halysites maybe?

Very nice! I hope to visit Gotland one day.

Wonderful corals, but I also like the brachiopods there, I think I see an Atrypa reticularis and a Trigonirhynchia sp.

Oh yes, I think it is Halysites, my mistake
