I'll try to post a picture of all of it tomorrow. Should I start a new topic with the coral or continue on this one. This is the first forum l have ever joined.

Yes this is an Ordovician hash plate containing brachiopods, bryozoans, etc., most likely from the Leipers Formation. The Leipers Formation covers the majority of the area East of Nashville and West of Cookeville, TN. Some layers are highly fossiliferous, especially the shale layers. Keep looking and you will almost certainly find some trilobites. I have found several around that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
