I wanted some coral for display purposes so I decided to see if I’d have any luck finding some at Flag Ponds today. I wasn’t expecting much of anything because of hitting it right after the weekend. I was pleasantly surprised with the results of my outing. I not only found plenty of coral I found my first porpoise tooth!!! I was also able to come back with a few nice shark teeth, ray plates, a croc tooth, and plenty of bone frags.

Lake Michigan Chain Coral-Please Look-Are They Really Rare?
autographcollector11 posted a topic in Fossil ID
These were both found on the shore of Lake Michigan in Illinois. They are chain coral. From what I have read, chain coral is rare from Lake Michigan. I have seen pieces sell for about $50. Are these really rare? If so-why? Thanks- 12 replies

This place is just like Wrens Nest Dudley i.e. Silurian. I like both places but find different things at each. Personally I have found more Trilobites bits at Wrens Nest. 1 - Arachnophyllum murchisoni Coral, top view 2 - Amphistrophia funiculata Brachiopod 3 - Favosites Coral 4 - Halysites Coral 5 - Heliolites Coral 6 - Kodonophyllum truncatum Solitary Coral 7 - Labechia conferta Stromatoporoid sponge 8 - Leptaena depressa Brachiopod 9 - Trepostome Bryozoa

So, what do I do to separate a fossil from the sediment? Like a coral fossil as example. Do I use acid? I heard you can also use vinegar but I don't know. Also, what is probably the best prepping starter kit online, or in hardware stores? I want to get a full set of stuff but don't know where to find a good bang for your buck. I really want to get into that type of work soon.

Hi all, a friend of a friend found this on the most northern point of Lake Superior, off Copper Harbor. I suspect it is fossil but to my eye it just strikes me as modern. Maybe escaped aquarium coral. But this person also claims to have found other pieces of corals there. Might anyone be able to say if this agrees with fossil corals of that area or is it a taxon not to be expected from the Paleozoic? Thanks!

Yesterday I was able to take a trip to the Silurian Racine formation of Southern Wisconsin. This site was easier than others due to the clear stratification, and I was able to see some of the reef overlay and underlay. finds included: my first dolomitized crinoid calyx, a nice fez-looking coral, some Bumastus trilobits, and what looks like a Cornulites impression? I’m curious if anyone has thoughts on the circular impression with calcite growths in it- unsure if it‘s an imprint or just a gap with mineral growth. Included a fun extra picture of old and new critters paired together.

It's apparent there's some coral in one corner atleast but the impression is what confuses me. There almost seems to be a discoloration following the fin like marking. I'd be very appreciative for someone's opinion It was found at the beach, on the edge of the water. Sandy Beach, Shediac, New Brunswick
