Auspex Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Yes, the large items look like horn coral.

Guest solius symbiosus Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 ^^It is hard to tell from the pic, but it is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimedes Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Yes interesting, not a crinoid, my first thoughts were, a fragment of weathered coral, looking at it again, I would like to see a better picture of it, but think it’s likely a coral fragment.
