Guest Nicholas Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 This is the only thing so far I've found with fossils that I have no idea what it is. I found this piece just out side of the Falls of Ohio no collect zone at a road cut. I also got a bunch of horn coral at this spot. So here it is...

Auspex Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 That's a Hemichaiblurganah weewee. Very rare.

NJ Mary Ann Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 It looks a bit (hard to tell from the photo, tho) like the anthozoans we can find in some of the PA Devonian sites.. I would guess, pending better photos, a colonial coral such as a Pleurodictyum? I have found colonial corals alongside horn corals before. But I'm not as good at ID'ing from photos as the rest of the folks here...I'm just trying to be brave and take a guess I haven't checked a map...what "age" were you in? I have attached a photo of a Pleurodictyum (not sure I spelled that right)...is it similar at all to this? -Mary Ann ********* "There is nothing like geology; the pleasure of the first day's partridge shooting or first day's hunting cannot be compared to finding a fine group of fossil bones, which tell their story of former times with almost a living tongue."

Guest Nicholas Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 The falls of the Ohio area of Kentucky is Devonian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 It is it similar at all to this? The texture of Nicholas' mystery stone is a lot more irregular than that. I'm not even sure it's organic...

LOL, well Lord knows I have plenty of those too...my son's collection of "really cool rocks that look like fossils but are not" is taking over my shed...maybe I will start a rock garden. Then someday a thousand years from now someone can dig them up and try to figure out what they are. -Mary Ann ********* "There is nothing like geology; the pleasure of the first day's partridge shooting or first day's hunting cannot be compared to finding a fine group of fossil bones, which tell their story of former times with almost a living tongue."

Guest Nicholas Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 It is labeled currently as "interesting rock", I don't really think it is a fossil. On the off chance it is I thought I would ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest solius symbiosus Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 It looks like a section of the wall of a horn coral. Something like Heliophyllum, or that really large one(sorry, can't recall the name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
