mediterranic Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hello there. Do someone has a clue about those ones? A friend bring them from Morocco. Lack of detailed data but maybe someone can suggest something to search. By now, i just have photos available as i don't know if they deserve a better approach. Maybe someone recognizes it...

painshill Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I would guess they're Devonian horn corals.

mediterranic Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 I always think about Moroccan "inventions". So, in first thought, for me it is always a forgery when i did not find it. Nevertheless, sometimes, rare (or unusual) true items comes from unexpected sources... Please check the next image. Can this be corals, Hippurites or rudists (wrongly glued)?

RyanNREMTP Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 From what I can make out in the pictures, I don't think rudists. I agree with the horn coral ID. If you can get better pictures then we can go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I don't know what they are, but I don't think they are horn corals. Can you break one to see the inside?

howard_l Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Looks like concrete casts of something to me, not a coral. Howard_L http://triloman.wix.com/kentucky-fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
