DPS Ammonite Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Favosites coral. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favosites 3 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

digit Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Agreed. BTW: Using the description "looks like fossilized honey comb" is a perfect description of these corals. I think we could have made a proper diagnosis from this description even without the image. It's a very nice looking specimen. Did you find any other fossils in the same area? And welcome to the forum--if you are interested in fossils, this is a great place to learn about them. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilNerd Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I’d agree with Favosites. They are frequently found in the Michigan area. Commonly called “honeycomb coral”, so your description was spot on as digit mentioned. I’ve also heard these (and similar coral) called “wasp nest coral” because of their similarities to modern paper wasps nest. Very neat specimen by the way. I like it.

Mark Kmiecik Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Nice find. Definitely Favosites. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
