Dianka Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hello, My husband found this fossil mixed with gravel that he used for doing some construction work... It was in Brooklyn, NY, but we don't know from where did the gravel come from. Based on the internet search my guess is that this specimen is a horn coral, what do you think? Thanks, Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmoceras Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 What you have is a fossil coral, well spotted. Regards, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 The genus Heliophyllum would be my guess. These are quite prolific throughout the middle Devonian of New York. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianka Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Thank you Kosmoceras and Piranha! It looks like I was right about this fossil being horn coral (Heliophyllum) I love the fact that it's soooo old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
