New Members AnnaNova Posted July 23 New Members Share Posted July 23 Hello everyone, Earlier this summer, I was diving at a beach in the Aegean Sea, and I found some very interesting things under the water that I was hoping you could help me identify. I know nothing of fossils, so please forgive me if these are just some random fish bones. However, they are odd in appearance and appear to be made entirely of stone; they are extremely hard and do not feel like bones at all. I am adding some pictures and will be grateful if you can help me identify them. This beach is a big treasure trove, and I have also found some very interesting rocks there that I am also trying to identify. I've posted these in the Rocks and Minerals section. I am adding photos; at the bottom, you will also see pictures with the three items and references in centimeters and inches. Thanks a lot for any advice you can give here.

oyo Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 The third specimen is a coral, Balanophyllia. Most likely Balanophyllia europaea (Risso, 1827). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
