Unkown fossil

[daniel49]

Hi everyone,

today I purchased this fossil and I am not sure about what it is. Could you please help me identify this fossil?

Thanks a lot

Where was this found? What size is it? Can we get a picture of the other side?

I don't think it's a sea urchin. Coral is likely.

I agree it's a coral, one of a number of possible scleractinians. More views needed, side and back.

Hi,

here you have more pics of the fossil (bottom and side view).

Unfortunately, I don't know where this was found. As for the dimensions, it is approximately 3 cm in diameter.

I think the new one is actually the top. Unfortunately, the view is obscured. Maybe what's sometimes known as a cup coral. As suggested, scleractinian is likely.

This is a Cyclolites sp. from the Late Cretaceous. They are also known as Cunnolites sp., although no one seems to have decided which is the correct name.

So, it's dome not cup. My bad.
