Ameenah Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I found this in Nashville, TN . I did post it on Facebook while the site was down. Some think it may be a horn coral. It looks to me that it's beekite covering something but I dont think it's a coral even though the shape and size is right. I would like hear what you guys think. Explore -> Dream -> Discover !

Carl Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Definitely looks like beekite to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erose Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I think it is a brachiopod valve interior. One with a sharply upturned shell margin. Maybe something like Leptaena. But that's just a SWAG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raistlin Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Definitely looks like beekite to me. I agree with this. Not sure there is enough left to call it anything else. I would have thought maybe a bit of horn coral but cannot really tell. RobertSoutheast, MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Possibly beekite on a Strophomena brach.
