connorp Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I would guess Tetradium. http://drydredgers.com/thumb_by_coral.htm#Tetradium Please remember to include as much information in your posts. Age of rocks and general location. If you know the formation, this is especially helpful. If you don't, including the county is helpful as those familiar with the area can make educated guesses. Also, including some of this in the topic titles is good practice. That way, when others are searching the forum with similar questions, they might find your posts. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
