Went to a new site today...found one of my "bucket listers"(1st photo).

And a Coral...but, can't ID it.  It's in the blue circle(last photo)

Thanks

Greg

Looks more like a bryozoan than coral, to me.

Looked up Bryozoan...I believe you're right.  I seem to have several of these species on the "rocks" or would the proper word be "conglomerate".  It is a layer of different "shells" on top of one another.

Thanks

Only if the mix is primarily small stones. I sort of doubt it from that area, with that look.

No, you're right...this is a thin layer "approx." 1 1/2 to 2" of just fossils.  From an exposer in the Tully Limestone "shelf/formation(?)" of Central NY.

Thanks

Greg
