Hello everyone 

 

This is my first post so please tell me if you need more information.

 

I found these in Murcia Spain in an area that was coastline 10-15 million years ago as far as I know.

 

There is a lot of oyster shells and mussels but they are easily identified so I will not include any of those. 

 

The ones I do show I believe might be corals but obviously I am not sure.

Some of the ones toward the bottom of the posts are corals. At that time, they would have to be scleractinian coral. The more irregular shapes look like pholad bivalve borings.

If you are going to post more than 2 items at a time, it is helpful for us if you number them, so that we can discuss each one more easily. 

 

11 items, with possibly multiple angles makes it difficult for us to figure things out.  :unsure: 

I agree, a few are corals. Most look like rocks to me, though.  :(

Hey everyone. Thanks for the replies. 

I know I should post less pictures and next time I will number them. 

I have a lot of others I'll post later . Mostly rocks I would think haha. 

 

I have one here I think looks like a bug or something I'll post a picture here. 

 

I also have one I found on a beach in Denmark that looks like a turtle. Very nice fossil but st the moment i misplaced it ups.

Please post 6 pictures, one from each side (think cube).

It is also better to set the piece on a flat single colored surface with a scale (ruler).
