Bishop54 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I decided to hit up more rocks today and I found these five things. The first two i'm pretty sure are coral. I'm not sure about the other three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashcraft Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 1 and 2, not as convinced they are coral...don't really know. 3 and 4 are horn corals, 5 looks like a brachiopod. Brent Ashcraft ashcraft, brent allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I can see the first two being parts of a larger colonial coral, hard to see detail with no macro. The next two are Horn Corals and the last if a Brachiopod. Whereabouts did you pick these up? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

MikeD Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Agree with Brent. I'd like to see a larger, more detailed photo of the first two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop54 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Everything i've posted on the forum so far I have found on my Dad's 110 acre property just south of Albany N.Y. It's actually just on the border of Albany and Greene counties. I was searching some very old stone walls for weird looking rocks and I found these in various rocks. The property used to be a farm and I guess when the farmers first plowed the land some 200 years ago they found these.These rocks were very soft. I think it might have been sandstone of some sort. I'll try to get you more detailed pictures. All of these items are no longer than 1". Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
