Recommended Posts

Hi There,

 

Another fossil find needing some help with its ID please. This was found at Llanymynech Quarry in Shropshire/Wales which the cliffs are Carboniferous limestone. I think it could be a coral of some type or at a push a section of a Crinoidea.
 

Many thanks in advance.

Yes, a solitary rugose horn coral. 

Lower Carboniferous would be correct.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
