aSubtleHero7CN Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hey, everyone! I am pretty confident this is a type of coral; but does anyone know what specific type it is? Thank you for sharing your expertise with me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ynot Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It is a tabulate rugose coral, but the experts will want a picture straight down on the top. (the part above Your thumb.) edit-- missed this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harry Pristis Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 II think it is a colonial rugose coral, not a tabulate. Perhaps a Lithostrotionella, a common Mississippian coral in the Midwest. For comparison: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FossilDAWG Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Very nice rugosan coral! It seems to be an Acrocyathus, which is a newer genus name for some corals previously included in Lithostrontion or Lithostrontionella. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aSubtleHero7CN Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Wonderful! Thank you, everyone, for the pictures, links, etc. It is great to be putting titles to the fossils I find. Here is another view of this one in particular. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
