Syringopora sp. from the Redwall Limestone
Here is a nice cross cut example of Syringopora, the most common coral you will find in the Redwall Limestone, Mooney Falls member - On the Mogollon Rim north of Payson. This is a pink chert mold, and the orginal coral has dissolved away leaving very fine details in the chert. This is a fine example of a Tabulate coral, the animal resided in the tops of each tube in a calice, and filtered food out of the plankton.
