Tidgy's Dad Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 It is a fossil, the edge of the calyx of a solitary, rugose, 'horn' coral, I think. Hello, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco. 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Rugose corals went extinct in the end Permian extinction. That would make it at least 250 million years old. It's likely older, but I have no knowledge of the rocks found in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarek Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 There appeares to be some sort of shapes from other side of the rock - maybe its worth removing some of the rock?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I think perhaps the most effective method might be a good sharp blow with a hammer. Shield your eyes first though. Things like this tend to break along the surface of fossils. The method does require some tolerance for pieces however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
