New Members Bonnie Meyer Posted 3 hours ago New Members Share Posted 3 hours ago Found this on Tampa Bay. Might be nothing, but looks interesting. Hope the pictures are visible enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago This might be a fragment of shell, either gastropod or bivalve, with some matrix adhering to it. Unfortunately, I don't think there is enough there to say definitively what it is.

val horn Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I think Tim is probably correct but I would like to see straight on the smooth circular piece to see if there is anything definitive visible. A circle with a dimple would make me check for echinoderm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Holly P Posted 34 minutes ago New Members Share Posted 34 minutes ago That appears to be “Tampa Bay Coral”, an agatized form of a fossilized coral typically found on Tampa Bay, but also some outlying areas. It can be found in a variety of sizes and shapes. I have found 2 medium size pieces on Manasota Key in Englewood. Here is a picture with the 1 being cut open to show the agate inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
