Sizev_McJol Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Most come from Illinois, and are as I figure corals and spines; question is what kind, and which? I apologize in advance, but instead of posting 20 threads for each one, I’m going to spam this one with all my sponge, coral, etc inquiries. So please be patient! (Thanks again guys for all your help! I only post the ones I cannot 100% identify via books and internet; unfortunately I gotta snarge ton more yet to come.) Here are items #1-3...

ynot Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Most of these look like tabulate corals. It would be better if You limit the pieces in a single thread, and show multiple angles of view. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Tidgy's Dad Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 1 is a cross-section through a coral like Favosites. You can see the tabulae quite clearly. The one below is from Michigan. 2 is the same but the top of the specimen, like this from Wiki. 4,5,and 6 also as above. 3 and 7 maybe a worn Heliolites sp? 7 being a mold of the cavities at the top, but some Favosites also leave similar impressions behind. 8 could be Entobia sp or another tabulate coral with some of the connecting tubes having left internal casts. 9, 10,11 and 14 different preservation of different Favosites species. 12. Fenestrate bryozoans, probably Fenestella sp. 13. Thamnopora sp. ? 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
