darren1408 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hi, Here is a picture of one of the Worm Hole/Coral Rocks I found, I dont know wether it is Coral or Worm Holes. How do you tell the difference for future findings? Thank you for your help. Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Does not appear to be coral. Maybe some form of worm/clam burrow, but not sure it is a fossil at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 The first three look pretty fiberous to be fossil. The last one, though, seems to have a gastropod (snail) shell impression in it.

Bill Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 The "gastropod" like thing is a damaged, calcite worm tube, secreted by the worm. No idea what the "rock" is though, sorry. KOF, Bill.
