Herb Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 jpc has it right, Flabellum "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"_ Carl Sagen No trees were killed in this posting......however, many innocent electrons were diverted from where they originally intended to go.

abyssunder Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I agree, it's a scleractinian coral of family Flabellidae, which superficially resembles a horn coral. They lived in different time periods: the horn corals (rugose corals) in the Paleozoic era, from Ordovician to Permian; the scleractinians from the Mesozoic onward. The specimen in question looks to be very close to Placotrochus sp. 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
