Athyris spiriferoides, I think. Love all the corals. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How strange, beautiful and nicely contrasting is that! Thanks for sharing! Is this a somewhat obliquely cut, large tabulata?

Depending on how you cut it you can get some rather interesting shapes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks different than the others I have found, so it may be something else? I haven't found another quite like it. I need to try to look it up one of these days.

I hope you're doing great as well and we try to get to NY as often as possible! My daughter went with us for the first time on our last trip and had a blast. We are definitely looking forward to Spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I'm surprised I got more of a response from the corals than the trilobites! lol It's a pleasant surprise as I honestly do a happy dance everytime I find one.

Florida fossils of any kind are some of my favorites. I'd love to make it to the Peace one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 Humper Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Lissa, some of the finest silicified coral heads/nodules are found in certain other Florida rivers as well....such as the upper/middle Suwannee, Withlacoochee (trib. of the Suwannee). A mask and snorkel in shallow limerock shoals/sections during dry periods when water levels are down and clearer (April/May or October) will do the trick. There will be vertebrate fossils on occasion to boot. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
