GreatWhiteAmmonite Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Here for some well needed help 15 years in the making +....been finding strange rocks that I observed were similar to these other stones, and finally realized it's not teeth, not mini skulls of a previously unknown species, not a vertebrae point...its horn coral?? I can not find several of my specimen's anywhere online...some are very unique in their pyramidal/geometric growth or result of time/pressure, very unique indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum.

Don't post them here (this subforum is more for introductions). We have a subforum section for Fossil ID where you can post some well lit and focused images of your potential horn (rugose) corals. We have a lot of great fossil knowledge locked up in the heads of our diverse membership and we love sharing that knowledge with the receptive. Welcome aboard! Cheers. -Ken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 From the TFF home page you will see the Fossil ID section if you scroll down far enough. Here's a direct link to that subforum where you can create a new post to show off your fossils for ID. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/forum/14-fossil-id/ Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
