Rockwood Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Bet that wasn't the kind of horn expected though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Agree with rugose coral. Fossil identification, like real estate, is heavily dependent on location, so do ensure you can provide us with approximate location to better help us to identify the specimen. 1 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Yup. Not a tooth nor a horn but a rugose coral also commonly known as 'horn corals' due to their resemblance to actual horns. Not what you might have expected but a fossil nonetheless. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudogygites Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Definitely a rugose coral, and a very nice one too! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
