Jacqui Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I found this fossil on the beach at Watermouth Cove North Devon U.K. Among small stones at the edge of a freshwater stream that flows across the beach. I would be grateful for help to identify it. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Welcome to the Forum. I cropped and brightened your photo a bit. Hmm. My first thought was some type of coral, like Syringopora. Maybe the locals will have a look-see. @TqB @Kosmoceras @JohnBrewer Regards, Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

TqB Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It is indeed a coral, looks like a Devonian tabulate one. Thamnopora is a strong likelihood - a 5 pence piece is about 18mm across making the corallites 1.5mm+ . Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBrewer Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Hi Jacqui, welcome to the forum! I agree with Tarquin. You can find find other sites in Devon here and of course you can take a day trip to the famous Jurassic Coast of Somerset.
