Ludwigia Posted Sunday at 07:22 AM Share Posted Sunday at 07:22 AM I don't think that this is coral, but I'm not sure what it might be. Stratigraphy? And a more exact location would help, since Delaware has everything from Precambrian metamorphite to quarternaty sediments. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Fossildude19 Posted Sunday at 11:05 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:05 AM Looks like a possible colonial rugose coral to me. I see lines on the outside of the tubes.

Ludwigia Posted Sunday at 11:56 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:56 AM Must have washed up from pretty far away, since the geology at Lewes is given as quarternary. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or brought down by glaciers/glacial melt. Paleozoic corals show up on beaches in Jersey and Delaware all the time. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Pic attached I think the best that can be said is that it may be a colonial rugose coral, instead of a solitary rugose coral. Not enough detail to even guess at a genus, or species. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
