Jakuzi Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Found this while searching a creek for points near Huntsville AR. If this is horn coral I'm curious what other fossils I might expect to find in the area. Thanks! Found this guy in the same creek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 First one could be a horn coral, but need to see pictures of the ends. Second one is a brachiopod.

Unfortunately I didn't keep it. This the only pic I have. Funny enough I did take a pic of the other one from another angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I have serious doubts about the horn coral. One would expect to see some indication of septa in the smaller opening if the theca were this recognizable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with horn coral and it was the first thing that sprang to mind when I found this just from seeing other examples. Thanks for the info.

Miocene_Mason Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'd say shell for both, the "septa" being growth lines. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
