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 greatIMG_0466.thumb.JPG.e4b630abcb3a477683bc46b5875eff0a.JPG

They are not teeth but they are fossil corals. Rugose corals, also known as horn corals.

Yup, horn corals.

Happy hunting,

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.

 I didn't know that's why I asked.

And that is why We are here. 

So people that do not know have a place to find out.

 

Welcome to TFF!

Nice horn corals too!
