Peat Burns Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 It does appear to be a large coral head. Nice find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TqB Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 It blows up quite well when you click it and go full size - it's a Favosites, probably F. multipora (formerly gothlandicus)(because that's the usual one, not because I know how to diagnose the species.) 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth929 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Wow, very cool. So "coral head" means the whole fossil is coral and there is no matrix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Favosites as Tarquin has said. They're common there. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a somewhat vernacular term to characterize an entire colony of globose coral. I'm not sure if this one is the entire colony, but if not, it's a good size chunk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
