Awhile back @Rockwood posted something similar to this and was given the ID Serpulid Reef, which I had never heard of until then.  Would that be what this is?  This is from creek in  Eagle Ford, what's most curious is how the wad of spaghetti perfectly comes together at the mouth(?)end.  Pictures I've seen of these reefs show worms poking out out in every direction.@erose

It looks like a 'rolling stone' of tube worms, a vermetulith (polychaete tube worms) agregate or serpulith.

Thank you that was a fascinating read! So many new words to google, and the little buggers sure were adaptive and effective!

So maybe the distinction is the percentage of it that is matrix ? Kind of like with coquina ?

The distinction may be the organization around a possible core. Not coquina, in my thinking.

Yes. Thank you.

Lone Hunter pointed out that I had missed that part, but I've had so much on my mind lately that I hadn't gotten back to it.
