John619 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Looking to see if anyone can tell me what I found. Big 1 looks to be solid quartz. The 2 small ones are as big as a finger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleome Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Rugose horn corals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty_Crab Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Nice selection of corals. If you can include a scale and general locality/stratigraphic info that usually helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I agree. Rugose horn corals. Do you know what age/formation or the approximate location where they were found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClearLake Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Just a week or so ago, we had another colonial rugose coral from that general area. See this thread for a similar find: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caverat Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) I believe it to be Acrocyathus and I'd further say proliferus. I found large masses of these in Kentucky near Barkley Lake. The light blue grid is one inch. Edited April 12, 2021 by Caverat Added scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mass I have looks to be solid quartz with geodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caverat Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I've not found as much of this as hexacorals. Actually, only two locations in all my collecting. No geodes either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
