mikeymig Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Today was a Pleurodictyum coral day The largest specimen is 116mm x 96mm, the biggest I have ever found!! Finding one of these extra large Pleurodictyums in a day makes the trip. The pictures of the large Pleurodictyum with the smaller size Pleurodictyum displays the huge size difference between a normal sized Pleurodictyum (35mm x 21mm) and my GIANT. Thanks 6 Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranzBernhard Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Thanks for sharing, very nice corals and instructive display! (I have a soft spot for fossils groups I can collect myself around my home town, Devonian corals are one of these groups...)

Malcolmt Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I love these guys and take all I find at Penn home and prep them. They prep wonderfully and are very attractive . Unfortunately at Penn I only find a few each year and the ones there are rarely bigger than my thumb.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
