lildragon Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Back again with only two items we couldn't label or didn't recognize, but were tucked away in boxes, an indication whatever it was, it was important. #1: ??? Size indication: Half an inch - around 1,5 cm. Really small. #2:??? Size indication: Each circle is only a few millimeters wide. Thanks in advance!

ynot Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 First one looks like a coral. Second one maybe stromatolite or some type of algae. (?) Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

marguy Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 2d : Nummulites (Foraminifera) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yes, solitary scleractinian coral and Nummulites. Both are widespread in Tertiary rocks, so pinning down a locality would be very unlikely. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down under fossil hunter Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 First one is most probably the dust filter from a vacuum cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donckey Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hi LILDRAGON, This is a solitary coral. It looks very much as Stephanophyllia nysti. I send you a picture of a species found in the Netherlands.
