Funginellastrea barcelonensis (Cycloseris) (Oppenheim 1911) Scleractinia Family: Fungiidae Note: Funginellastrea is a junior subjective synonim of Cycloseris according to R. Baron-Szabo (2002).

Boneman007 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) How about this one? I see your Ichthiosaur eye and Raise you a sauradon eye. This was prepped as it was in-situ. If you can believe it, it was a blind fossil. It was 2" deeper and 6" over from a protosphyrena skull I was digging out. I only knew it was there when chunks of jaw started falling at my feet.

jkfoam Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 This is about the roundest fossil I have. It is just a little smaller than a golf ball and is sitting on matrix. It is a Tabulate coral that is Silurian in age. JKFoam The Eocene is my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
