TqB Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 There's no coral structure visible there - I believe it's a stromatoporoid which occur in large numbers in parts of the reefs. The section shows the typical laminae and pillars. 6 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Go with the local. Sure is shaped like an oyster though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taogan Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 No oysters in the Silurian. Smooth one side, concentric banding on the other, about the size of a fist, classic Wenlock formation stromatoporoid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look rather like an oyster but photo 2 is a section through a colony I think. And I don't believe there are oysters that shape around there..
