Crazyhen Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Does it look like coral fossil? It is from Guanling, Guizhou Province of China. Triassic. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I'm pretty sure it's not coral of any sort. I don't know what it is though. Very interesting! 3 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marguy Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 it reminds me of Richtofenia (but I think this is from Permian times) picture from: https://quizlet.com/333972091/paleo-fossil-quiz-1-flash-cards/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Very interesting. I've no idea what they might be, but I'd sure be interested to find out. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Perhaps Bryozoa with monticules? See a lot of it in Ordovician limestone here in the states and Canada.

minnbuckeye Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 In the first picture, I see a fresh cross sectional exposure. Could we see a close up of that surface? Lower left quadrant of the sample. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's some kind of marine invertebrates but really have no idea what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
