TeamKC Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Hello everyone, requesting help with a fossil ID. New member and very new to fossils, daughter has shown lots of interest in fossils and wants to be a paleontologist for about a year. I try and continue to encourage it and we go to different creek beds here in Kentucky along the Tennessee boarder. We typically find lots of brachiopods but nothing like these. I think it looks like limpets, but I can’t find anything similar to it online. The University of Kentucky website had some similar sketches of horn coral, but I am not sure. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Info: small, about the size of a quarter found on the banks a larger sized stream in southern Kentucky usually find lots of brachiopods in the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 It is a colonial rugose coral. Nice find, and we'd love to see some of the brachiopods if you need help with ID. 1 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...
grandpa Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Hello and welcome to TFF from Austin, Tx. We're glad to have you aboard and would indeed love to see some of the brachs you've collected. BTW, that's a nice coral you have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Welcome to the Forum. I agree with colonial rugose coral. Compare to something like Hexagonaria Regards,.
