Show Us Your Coral

[Pachy]

Ok, ok. Yes, with 10 years is enough information.

[Pachy]

Let's go with another one. For boys and girls.

Leptophyllon barocum Eliasova 1974 Eocene (Lutetian) NE Spain (as always).

 

Some more.

[Pachy]

Polished and details.

With respect to these materials I would like to make a request.
I would need materials from type locations to compare it with my Spanish materials.
These type localities are the following:

All in the Czech Republic.
Kurdejov.
https://www.google.es/maps/place/693+01+Kurdějov,+Chequia/@48.9415666,16.7167624,12z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4712cfffcc1f9c73:0x400af0f66154ec0!8m2!3d48.9577738 ! 4d16.7634562
Zdanice.
https://www.google.es/maps/place/696+32+Ždánice,+Chequia/@49.0676782,16.9596931,12z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4712dfcee745f5e5:0xb8aa863c5409004e!8m2! 3d49.0672871! 4d17.0275188
Zdounky
https://www.google.es/maps/place/768+02+Zdounky,+Chequia/@49.2308009,17.2656444,12z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x471303747237e693:0x3a063fffb2dc905b!8m2!3d49.2277083!4d17.3189958
If someone owns these procurrent materials from these locations and wants to exchange it for any type of fossil, donate it for the greater glory of science or any type of "exchange" that occurs to him, he already knows where there is an interested in it. Standard procedure: personal message and we talk.

I apologize for the spelling of the locations, for the tirade, for requesting something that seems difficult and strange, and for the rest of my crazy things. Without forgetting the fact that I express myself very badly in English.

Greetings to all.

Nice corals You have.

Your English is not to bad.

[Tidgy's Dad]

Here is what I now believe to be Lepidophyllia (Heterastraea ) tomesi. 

(being a bit brave about the species, perhaps) 

It's from the Psiloceras planorbis zone of the Blue Lias at Kilve beach, Somerset, UK and was found when i was about eight years old so has a very special place in my heart. 

Lower Jurassic, of course and very rare, especially in this condition and size.

According to the corals, less according to the English language.

Pachygyra princeps Reuss 1854b Cretaceous (Santonian) NE. Spain

 

[Pachy]

Ellipsocoenia? bauzai Mallada 1887 Eocene (Lutetian) NE Spain. Genus probably needs revision.

 

 

Same species Eocene (Priabonian) NE Spain

 

[Pachy]

Making time until those Leptophyllons appear .......

Diploctenium subcirculare Milne-Edwards & Haime 1848 Cretaceous (Santonian) NE Spain

Those are beautiful. 

I've not seen them before. 

[Pachy]

It is not a very common material, but neither is it exceedingly rare. Intermediate in terms of rarity, so to speak.
Family Phyllosmiliidae, like the Phyllosmilia that I put earlier.

I'm glad you like it. Now you can not say that you never saw it.

[Pachy]

Today´s coral.

Antiguastraea? cvijici Oppenheim 1906 Eocene (Priabonian) NE Spain. (Just KOH´ed). Genus probably need revision.

That is a beauty. You have a very nice collection. Are corals you favorite fossils or one of them?

Those are pretty cool looking and cute too. Very interesting shape. So is that a colony or a single polyup? I assume it must be a colony, but it is so little.

Do they grow outwards from the point?

I don’t know much about corals. I assume they start with a little coral

Now corals are my favorite group.
I started collecting everything. Then I dedicated myself to the echinoderms, they say that I have a good collection of sea urchins.
But one day I saw fossil corals in a friend's collection and I fell in love with them. I left everything else and went to the corals.

To understand us, it´s a solitary coral. Although it´s a somewhat peculiar denomination. It´s not a colony.

It start being small, yes.

You sure have a lot of nice corals.

Thanks for sharing them.

[Pachy]

You're welcome. Enjoy them.
Yes, I have many corals. If you ask my wife she would tell you that I have too much.

Great corals! You should start an album in Members Galleries.

Thanks for the advice but this post is good for me. I'm not going to be much time around here so this post worths to me. In fact, I'm almost getting there. Some will be happy others maybe not.

Pity. The problem here is that your posts will probably go under with time and not be viewed nearly as much as when they are posted in the gallery.

Pachy, one of the benefits of using the gallery with the correct keywords is that your Corals will become a source of reference for people searching for any of your corals or from the locations and ages you share. Your photos are great and so are your corals. I know this works this way because at times I will search for something and my fossil posts come up. If you have the time don't let your work disappear.
