fosceal2 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 West Va, Again. Horn coral One and Horn coral two Would different varieties occur in the same location? Can I assume Horn corals 3 and 4 ( My neices) are the same variety? Thank you,Fosceal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest solius symbiosus Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Would different varieties occur in the same location? Nice stuff! I used to pass through that area a lot, but I have never collected it. Why didn't I make the time?<shucks, darn, dagnabbit> Yeah, there can be multiple varieties. Classifying rugosids often are tricky; your best bet would be to find some literature for the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I find iding them extremely testing on my brain. Horn corals often look very alike and depending on the fossilization sometimes you can't tell. Very nice specimens.
