Hello,

I took this picture today and I suppose it is a Coral would you help me to identify it ?
Thank you.

I'm seeing some sort of a burrow (trace fossil). What features make you think this is a coral? Also what is the age or geological context of the specimen?

I don't have any idea. I have just found echinoids and bivalves in the same rock.

The other fossils seem to be Eocene, or abouts. If this is actually the same rock, then it should be also.

Are you talking about the Foraminifera in my previous topic ? It might be the same stratum since I found both of them almost in the same place but I took this photo yesterday while I collected the Echinoid with the Formnifera 4 years ago !

Is it a burrow ?

Yes, that is what it appears to be.

looks like a burrow to me also.
