What is it? from the myFOSSIL app 4 years, 6 months ago 4 years, 6 months ago4 years, 6 months agoThis looks like a smaller, more intact version of my last find, which someone commented looks like coral. But it has the exact same shape as the last. I do not know if coral can duplicate shapes like that. Any suggestions? #fossil
Hi @evan-kruse. Corals are colonial animals so each polyp will be the same as the next. However, a colony’s shape can be influenced by its taxonomy (what species it is) and its environment (the amount of light received and how much wave action there is). It’s probably the same species growing in the same environment.
