New Members suburbanamateur Posted Friday at 05:51 AM New Members Share Posted Friday at 05:51 AM I was at Doctor’s Park beach in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin today. It is a known Silurian reef outcrop and I found much of the usual plus this weird piece of coral. I have never seen coral like this at this beach and I’ve been going here periodically for months. I attached a side, top, and bottom photo. I wanted to wait until I finished my trip to show my entire haul, but I am really curious about this thing. I almost mistook it for a nut that fell into the lake, but it’s definitely rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevicollis Posted Friday at 06:58 AM Share Posted Friday at 06:58 AM I could be wrong here, but it appears like a very worn rugosa coral to me. But lets hear what other members have to say, if im wrong or not. 1 5 Are good signatures really that important ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted Friday at 06:20 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:20 PM Yup, and very common on Great Lakes beaches. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are Illinois. Never found anything on an Illinois Lake Michigan beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
