Species: Sceleractinian Coral (Affinities to)
Deposit: Eagleford Formation (Britton member)
Location: California Crossing (Irving Texas)

Although I have it as a species of Sceleractinian to my knowledge it is unknown in the Eagleford formation.
If there is anyone who has knowledge of any others found in the upper Cretaceous please do not hesitate to submit information.

The posting on the "Horn" coral should be on the center specimen only.

The two others are for comparison only.

Specimens on left are Lower Cret. and to the right, it is from the Pennsylvanian.
