Miocene_Mason Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Yeah I’m seeing coral as well. “...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...

abyssunder Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Can we have a higher resolution image of this area?

BobWill Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I believe the oldest exposures in Louisiana are from the Eocene. The layered part looks like a broken section of an oyster. The shape of the radial fossils suggest a kind of rugose coral but they would be too old. I am not familiar with the local material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 This thing really has me stumped. The material looks here and there like porcelain. I'm wondering if this isn't some kind of a man-made throw off product. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

andreas Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I have a Rudists feeling seeing the flower shaped crosssections. The other ripped structure would fit too. But not sure at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not sure at all. That was the reason why I asked for a better resolution. They look close to Praebarrettia or similar rudists. 3 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
