BobWill Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I found this odd horn coral at the Lost Creek Dam site near Jacksboro, Texas. It's Upper Pennsylvanian, Graham formation, Finis Shale member. The horizontal wrinkling seems very organized, looking more like the ornamentation on a conulariid or some orthoconic cephalopods and the presence of dissepiments limit the possibilities some. The bottom was already broken off so I sanded it flat and polished it a bit for a look at the septal pattern but still can't seem to place it in it's proper niche. Dibunophyllum valeriae has been suggested and Lophamplexus sp. but I'm not convinced mostly because of the horizontal patterning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
