Hatchet Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I have found it within Miocene reefal limestones, can you give me any information about its species ? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why since the radial features look like the rays some bivalves have and the concentric marks look like growth lines. The resemblance to the structure of some corals though makes that far more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am no expert when it comes to the fossils, so if you guys say it is a coral, then It is likely a coral :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
