Bev Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Ordovician Stewartville member of the Galena Formation SE Minnesota, USA I was out fossil hunting today and found this, which I believe is a worn hexigornian (sp?) coral. BUT I could certainly be wrong, so I thought I would post it for ID. As far as I know, a hex has never been found in this location, although hexs are known to be in this member of the Galena not too far away. Thoughts? The more I learn, I realize the less I know.

Rockwood Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Don't see it. Are we talking remnant ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I also do not see a coral. I also have no idea what a "hexigornian coral" is, and Ordovician corals are one of my major interests. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Probably Bev is referring to the hexagonarian (wasp nest) corals, but I also not recognise that in the picture. Maybe some Auloporids, or ichnofossils?
