Jambu Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Hello guys my 7 year old daughter found this at the harbour beach on holy island Northumberland. When dropped on a hard surface such as a table it sounds and feels like solid stone. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'm not seeing clear evidence of septa. Still, I think it might be a collapsed branching rugose coral colony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 There are definitely septa and dissepiments in this shot, so I agree it's pieces of a branched rugose coral from the lower Carboniferous - probably Siphonodendron or possibly Diphyphyllum. 6 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 This is completely off tangent, but this is a youtube video of a song I quite like about Holy Island. No mention of fossils however. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
