Shan9797 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hi there, we found this in Stony Mountain, Manitoba, Canada last summer (~Aug 2021) and we're hoping for an ID. We're definitely beginners but love fossil hunting in the quarry down the street, thank you for any help with the pics below! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClearLake Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Yes to the horn coral. What you called the “bottom view” is actually the top. The pointy end was in the substrate and the animal lived up at the wide end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
