New Members MsCurious Posted July 3, 2017 New Members Share Posted July 3, 2017 Found at a quarry in Eastern Ontario. We chiseled it from the rock at the quarry. Not sure what it is, we think it looks like teeth but we have no idea what from. Any help would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 They are not teeth but they are fossil corals. Rugose corals, also known as horn corals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Yup, horn corals. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeargleSchmeargl Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Horn corals. The biggest one gave it away. Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
