I don't think Acervularia occurs outside of the Silurian in the UK. This is Phillipsastrea, I think, but Tarquin will Know.. @TqB And I loved your tribute to Doren.

Acervularia and its family are exclusively Silurian. As @Tidgy's Dad said, Phillipsastraea is a very good possibility but I think you need sections to be sure. (I'm not suggesting it for this lovely specimen!). Edited April 28, 2022 by TqB 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 From a car boot sale ( in the U.K. a car boot is a Sunday morning pastime . Where people park their cars in a field and sale stuff from the boot of the car that most of the time nobody in their right mind would want to purchase and take home ) . I did however get this Calamites or giant horsetail. Unknown location ( probably from Yorkshire as that was where the boot sale was) but a nice piece that cost next to nothing , 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Sorry that my thread is a little slow. We are decorating so more than half my collection is boxed. I used call these ‘Tuning Folk Graptolite’ . We don’t see enough Graptolite on TFF. I imagine the ID is wrong. Didymograptis murchisoni sp Ordovician ( Llanvirn Series) Abereiddi Bay, Dyfed, S Wales.

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I agree, we need more graptolite posts. Yes, this is the classic tuning fork graptolite Didymograptus murchisoni. I don't think that the name has changed. And it's Welsh, so it's got to be good. Tuning forks are very useful for all the male voice choirs. in The Valleys. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.
