New Members Renee P. Posted April 13, 2009 New Members Share Posted April 13, 2009 I would be comfortable in saying that it looks like a colonial rugos coral, or a colony of horn coral such as Hexagonaria or Lithostrotionella. Great specimen though. How big is the rock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 ^^I know next to nothing about Cenozoic stuff, but they wouldn't be a rugosids as they are Paleozoic. They are some kind of scleractinians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Barnacle scars maybe? Do the geometric shapes continue into the rock or are they a surface thing? Try breaking a piece off to see if you can spot traces inside, then it would be a coral IMHO.
