Bone Daddy Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I have this coral and I *think* it came from a batch of material from the Bardstown locality in Kentucky. I think it's Ordovician. It is a ball shape and one side shows a lot more detail than the other. Does anyone know what species this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Looks like a Calapoecia huronensis, a common component of the Bardstown reef. The rounded corallites with relatively thick walls, especially in the corners, is diagnostic of the species. Don 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bone Daddy Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Thanks Don and Herb. I am familiar with the corals commonly found down here in Florida, but this Kentucky material is new to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
