Hello! I had posted a bit of this before... however in my EXCITEMENT over my finds, I did NOT do a really good posting job.... These specimens SHOULD have been shown from all angles! (I know better now... but hey, I was an excited old man!) I would guess the coral is Devonian; possibly Mississippian. This is ONE SPECIMEN photographed from all angles I could. Some of these specimens have a LOT going on in them! I attach photos of ONE piece. I have taken photos from all angles. On the first three photos... Do you think this is a different type of coral? I DO see what is probably the top of a rugose coral at the right, the circular structure! The oval-shaped structures are what I wonder about. Coral? Photo 4 - WOW! A lot here! On the right, a small section of Lithostrotion coral - tabulate coral at the "south" end (better photo of that is#7). The "spray" on the right side in photo 4 is interesting! There are little bits of coral all over the piece! To the right of the big depression - the llittle black dots are arranged in a circle (a bit hard to see from this angle). I am very interested in hearing your comments - We brought back probably 80 + pounds of this stuff!
