New Members BobR Posted June 16, 2012 New Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm new to this forum (as of today). I just aquired this coral fossil and am hoping to get information on type, apparent quality and possible value. It's 7" X 5.25" X 3". Thanks, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 It might be a coral in the genus Lithostrotionella, from the Mississippian Period. If you know where it was found, that would be helpful. Although this is an attractive display specimen, its monetary value would be slight.
