New Members Dozer Posted July 7 New Members Share Posted July 7 I need help identifying this. I'm not sure if it’s honeycomb coral. I also have another piece about the same size. I would appreciate anyone’s help with this. Great Salt Lake - Tooele, Utah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I'm not sure either. It almost looks like the septa of a rugose coral. And the external shape, a mold fossil of something else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Always a good idea to include location in the description as many members miss the tags. Great Salk Lake in Utah. Seems like a colonial coral to me. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) Definitely a colonial rugose coral, showing septa as @Rockwood said. The external shape may be due to periodic growth variation. From photo 3: Edited July 8 by TqB 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
