Hello all, First of all, thrilled to find this website--I've had this fossil for about a year now after finding it on a lark and I had not been able to make even anything close to an identification/match to any example or description in easily-found online guides to fossils in the MD region. It has this almost chemistry-structural-formula hexagonal pattern that turns into a series of...fine/leafy branches in parallel? It also appears to have some regular hollow cavities on the rim, as if whatever it was was honeycombed/hollow. My guess is some sort of coral but as I said I haven't been able to find any match at all, so any notions would be appreciated! Also please do feel free to let me know what other info/images would be of help, I read the "New Users Please Read" guides for this sort of thing but definitely want to be sure I cover all the steps. Thanks so much--it'd be really cool to put a name to this lil' guy, even if it's qualified with a "we THINK it's a _____"!

This fossil appears to be a vertebra, and was located as a surface find, possibly in a Late Cretaceous area of McKinnley County, New Mexico (northwest portion of the state). The geological formation is not known. The fossil is hexagonal in shape, and measures about 6.5 cm. in diameter, and 6 cm. thick. Any ideas on the original type of beastie? Thanks.

Hi, I was going through some of my rocks and saw this one I found near Madison, Indiana. Most of the fossils I got from there were horn corals or brachiopods but the pattern on this fossil is different than what I usually see. Can anyone please help me identify it? Not sure if it is an imprint from a sponge or something else. Pictures show front, side and back. Thank you for your help!

Picked this up in creek where I find turtle shell fossils, Cretaceous Eagle Ford and QAL mix, thought that's what this was until I washed mud off, then thought it was cement, looks like it and sounds like glass, but it has hexagon shapes all through it. Thinking shape is coincidental and it's Favosites?
