Lewis_ Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Any ideas what this could be? Not sure where it was found as a bunch of fossils were chucked out of a university department in the 70s and this is one of them, some fossilised horn or a coral?

Kane Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I believe this is a rugose coral, colloquially known as “horn coral.” 1 7 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarryman Dave Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 My guess as well rugose coral 1 1 Quarrycomber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Solitary rugose coral. The internal structure is right for Dokophyllum (formerly Ketophyllum) which is common in the UK Silurian Wenlock Limestone (and elsewhere). Nice section, I'd definitely keep it!
