Pine, Arizona Hexagonaria occidens Martin Formation / Jerome Mem. Pine, Arizona Those are pretty cool. They may actually be helpful in an ID post I have commented on a few times today from an item posted by @Darko. I had thought if his piece was coral it needed to be organized similar to your first pic, but 2 and 3 are helpful to show that the individual coral bodies don’t all have to be of uniform height and they don’t have to be immediately adjacent to one another. So it leads me to believe it really could be coral. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doushantuo Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 "Pachyphyllum"???? *scratches head* Althought Sorauf(1978) proposes some distinctions between "Pachyphyllum*" and Phillipsastrea,a lot of people consider Pachyphyllum a junior synonym of Phillipastrea. *essentially limiting them to the Frasnian and Famennian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the most adorable corals I have ever seen! So cute! I never thought I’d say that about corals. You’d think I was talking about kittens or puppies or something. Very nice, sweet little corals. On 11/25/2017 at 5:01 PM, Pachy said: Siderofungia hemisphaerica d´Achiardi 1875 Eocene (Bartonian) NE Spain. Some details. Polished section. (Transverse).

There are no features of a coral in it. It is a Porphyritic igneous rock. Here is a polished horn coral from Utah. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
