FossilFamily_24 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I’m sure I will happen upon the right website at some point to identify it, but haven’t yet… certain it’s easily identified by the experienced. Can anyone help? I assume it’s a sponge? Maybe coral? Type? Thank you. Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I think it's a Receptaculitid sponge. They have often been confused with coral though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I think it's coral though the structure is blurry. It looks heliolitid as there seems to be coenenchyme between the corallite holes. A polished surface would help. 3 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 It wouldn't be the first time I got them mixed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
