albertomimo Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Found this stone in the beach in Sligo, Ireland. Is this some kind of a coral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Yes, i think so, it looks like a Lower Carboniferous coral, but you're going to have to post clearer, more detailed pictures with a scale for confirmation or a more accurate id.

westcoast Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Certainly Carboniferous coral. Common on Sligo beaches, although not usually numbered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertomimo Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 This rock was found on the beach in Sligo, Ireland. I think is part of a coral fossil but I am not sure, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I think I'm suffering from déjà vu. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Probably not deja vu sensu stricto, but a brexit phenomenon whereby we keep seeing the same things being repeated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I really think we need more informative photos. A larger file, different angles perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 As already said, it's certainly a bit of a lower Carboniferous coral, and it's a piece from the outer part of a solitary one such as Caninia or Siphonophyllia. Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluecatapilla Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Definitely looks like a Carboniferous Tabulate coral to me, perhaps a cross section of Syringipora? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see it come up on the screen when I use the search term carboniferous coral, and I wouldn't rule it out just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
