DevonianDigger Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 That would be a nicely weathered piece of Rugosa, or horn coral. It's been tumbled quite a bit by the water so you're just seeing the septa on the surface. Very nice looking piece! 2 Jay A.

izak_ Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Welcome! I agree with horn coral, but those colours are a lot nicer than any others i've ever seen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmac022480 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Thanks! We were all thinking some sort of tooth here so my Googling would have never paid off. I'm glad I came here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
