Carmen Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 This stone looks completely different than it did when I found it! At first it looked like a petoskey stone but now I'm confused, I see a hairy crinoid lol. Can someone identify it for me?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Looks like branching coral. Where is it from and how big? 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

DPS Ammonite Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Where did you find this, from what formation? It looks like a coral or bryozoa. If Devonian, it might be Thamnopora coral. http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/2016/06/thamnopora-sp-coral-from-martin.html?m=1 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Tidgy's Dad Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Yes, a branching tabulate coral, methinks. Thamnopora is a good starting point. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As already said, branching tabulate coral, maybe something like Thamnopora or another genus. And this is such a nice specimen, good color & contrast, nice arrangement of corals and good preservation. Congrats to this find! (I like this kind of stuff very much, as some my already know...). Franz Bernhard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
