sonofapreacher Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Hello, this is my first post as I stumbled upon this forum attempting to research a fossil my Great Grandmother gave me some years ago. When I was younger, I thought they were teeth of some sort, but after some digging (no pun intended), I am thinking it may be horn coral!? Also, in the second picture I labeled part of the rock #4; it appears to be different from the rest of the rock. Some of it is like a milky matte material and beside it (hard to see in still picture) is a section that glimmers in the light. I wondered if it was some sort of crystal or just another form of a fossil/the limestone. I apologize for any errors that I have made in this description or in the pictures. I would appreciate and corrections, tips or recommendations I could use for potential future posts. If anyone could give me some more information on what I have here, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you and have a great day! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val horn Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 it is a very nice slab of horn coral. Do you know where it was found? My knowledge of geology is poor, I cannot tell you what else can be in the slab. Other more informed folk would be helped with that information. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranzBernhard Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Nice specimen, indeed. Thanks for sharing! But I can not help any further with more exact ID than horn coral. And I see, that you are using @Coco´s mm-paper, already in your first post ! Thank you! Franz Bernhard 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
