Blakeg Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 This slab of what appears to be compressed mud came up when digging a basement. Has a lot of pieces of coral and shell. Looking for help with big item (white is color and looks like 3 pieces coming from a central core) in photo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blakeg Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Have some more pictures from same slab. Perhaps someone can ID items. I'm thinking about removing some of the surrounding layers to get a better look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Yes, it would be interesting to break that up a bit. I can see corals, bryozoans and brachiopods at any rate. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 That first coral is really nice. Looks like the Devonian rock that is found in that area. That coral is just itching to be freed from that rock, I can see it breaking out on the edges! What fun, I’d dig the basement a little deeper - haha!
