Kribensis Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Any help identifying this is appreciated. Pretty sure it’s a fossil of coral, barnacle or some other similar sea life but I really don’t know. Like my other posts, comes out of the Florida estate fossil collection that I purchased at auction. Once again thank you all in advance for any help.

TqB Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) They're tabulate corals. Looks like a specimen of silicified Thamnopora and Syringopora (the thin, branching one) from the Devonian of Arizona.

FossilDAWG Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I definitely agree that these corals are Thamnopora and Syringopora. However there are other sites besides the Martin Formation of Arizona that could be the source. For example I have almost identical silicified material of these corals from the Onondaga Formation of Ontario. I don't think you can be definative about the locality without direct information from the collector. Don 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
