RobertBlackBeard Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Here's another one that is similar to my last post that I can only assume is a shell. I found it in a creek in Oklahoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hello, You have a rugose coral, also commonly called a "horn" coral, for obvious reasons. Neat find.

sixgill pete Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 As Tim said, it is a horn coral. Very nice. Looks like you have a good producing creek there.

RobertBlackBeard Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hello, You have a rugose coral, also commonly called a "horn" coral, for obvious reasons. Neat find. Regards, Really? That pretty amazing that I found two of them then. I do remember hearing from someone that my state of Oklahoma use to be under the ocean millions of years ago. That's probably why I keep finding fossils that are sea related. Thank you for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manticocerasman Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Robert, you seem to find fossils on a regular base in your area. It might be worthwhile to get hold of a geological map of the creeks you visit, this will give you the info you need to date the fossils. So get out there and find some more you are on good grounds to start a nice collection . Edited May 25, 2016 by Kevin H. growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Guguita2104 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 If the fossil is paleozoic, I agree with Horn coral (Rugosa order). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Robert with what you've found so far I hope you've got a big house. If not if you carry on like this you'll need one John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i agree with horn coral. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
