NicolaT Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Good evening to all, can anyone help me figure out what kind of fossil is this, please? It was found on the shores of the Black Sea, near Odessa, in Ukraine. You can see traces of small shells inside. Thanks, Nicola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Looks like coquina. Bunch of shells/shell pieces jumbled and cemented together, creating a sedimentary rock.

abyssunder Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Yes, it is a coquina. Good sample and ID!

doushantuo Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 my two cents worth: some abraded hash with a clear algal matrix-supported fabric .You could argue that it is a coquina,but it is probably subrecent early cemented beachrock .
