New Members heba Posted February 11, 2023 New Members Share Posted February 11, 2023 Would you please help me to identify these coral species, from the Eocene strata of Egypt? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I am by no means an expert on coral fossils, but I do know that since many different species can have similar outward morphology, one usually needs to cut cross sections and study them in order to determine at least the genera if not the species. But maybe @TqB could help further, although his specialty is palaeozoic corals. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

It would need at least a good end view and probably a section, unless someone with local knowledge is familiar with it. 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 you are sure with eocene? It´s Marsa Alam-Area, I assume Corals are not easy to determine, normally you need sliced to identify better by septal arrangement. Could you post pics of both ends, please?
