minnbuckeye Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Isn't this an imprint of a coral which may let one consider the possibility of a fossil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 It is an imprint, and so it is a fossil. It does look like a scleracyinian coral. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Where about in Punta Cana was this found? I've done archaeological fieldwork in the area, but did a bit of palaeontological exploration in my free time and know that there are fossiliferous limestones in the general area. Not that I nitrogen to know their age... The beach-sands around the resorts, on the other hand, have been imported - I forget from where, if ever I know - and would thus be harder to date 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
