New Members mollie Posted September 13, 2015 New Members Posted September 13, 2015 Hello! I found this rock on the shores of Long Island NY a few years ago. It looks like it has some kind of fossilized thing on the top; does anyone have an idea what this might be? Thank you for your time! xox Mollie
ynot Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Welcome to the forum. That looks like a remnant of a horn coral. Tony
New Members mollie Posted September 13, 2015 Author New Members Posted September 13, 2015 Thank you Tony! It's hardened and raised up off the rock. It almost looks like it got "sucked on" or attached to the rock somehow.
bone2stone Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Much more recent than "Horn coral". These still exist. The true"horn" corals went extinct back before the Permian. Very cool the way it grew to look like an "eyeball". Jess B.

Rockwood Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Yep. They've had me going for a while before.
