casava_nova Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Found these on a beach of a bay in Sussex county Delaware from Spring 2022 to present. 6 specimens total. #1 was super hard to photograph, did my best. #5 thought it would be easy to ID, was surprised to find a shell like that in the bay, but maybe it's from a decoration??? #6 thought maybe it was metal or part of something man-made, but feels like maybe? it's petrified. I'm purely an amateur, so just speculation. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 6 Likely is a scleractinian coral preserved in ironstone. There are Pliocene/Miocene deposits near there, I think. And it sure looks like a fossil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
