Sberebit Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Would you be able to ID this for me. It was found in South Bend Indiana so chances are it isn't from around here but dropped off by a glacier a few years back. Also, I wet it down so the features can be better seen. Any ideas? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sberebit Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 I think the answer lies within the circle, I just don't know what that is. I've also included a side picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranzBernhard Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Sorry, can not see anything definitive in the circled area. However, I get a somewhat tabulate coral feeling on your specimen. But I am not sure, if it is more like a favositid coral (1st pic) or more like a thamnopor(o)id coral (2nd pic and bottom of 4th pic). Maybe there are both in this specimen? Bryozoans can not be excluded, but I think, the "tubes" are a little bit too large for that. Favositid: Favosites styriacus. Plabutsch-formation (Devonian-Eifelian). Hohe Rannach Mt., north of Graz, Styria, Austria. Length of pocket knife is 9 cm. 05/26/2018. Thamnopor(o)id: Thamnopora reticulata. Plabutsch-formation (Devonian-Eifelian). North of Hohe Rannach Mt., north of Graz, Styria, Austria. 05/21/2018. Franz Bernhard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I get a coral vibe from this also. There's a lot going on so it may be two or more and bits of other things as well, but mostly coral.
