Auspex Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 It is a water polished piece of colonial coral, similar to the Michigan State Stone. Where was it found?

Guest bmorefossil Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 South Mississippi,thanks for the information. cool, if only they put in sharks teeth for driveway gravel, then you could walk out to get your paper and find a meg, but then again you might get a tooth stuck in your foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest solius symbiosus Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Antiguasterea sp. is a common Tertiary coral from that area, and it looks similar to what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
