6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoThank you Jack for the links. I don’t think I had found that website prior as I really didn’t know it was as extensive as it is. My read on this specimen is that — yes, I thought digit/toe maybe… especially when I turned it over. It is very heavy for its size. It was found almost dead center SD in NE Sully County. I picked up some smal…[Read more]

6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoFound this slightly in-ground in a sunflower field this fall. Has a matrix on it. As I have just joined this website and have now seen one of the tutorials about removing matrix — I may give this a try to see if it reveals more. I only fear I may wreck something as a novice. I apologize for the snapshots — I will try to improve this als…[Read more]

Hi, @gail-tennant – what are you thinking this might be? It looks like there is some patterns but I can’t tell if that is weathering patterns or biological patterns. Talk to you soon, Jen

Gail Tennant commented on their own Fossil #029523 6 years, 4 months ago
6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoI did receive a response from emailed photos that this is possibly a colonial coral often called chain coral (Halysites) and either Ordovician or Silurian in age (485 to 419 million years).

@gail-tennant This is a coral but not a chain coral, The corallites in your specimen are all bunched together. In a chain coral the corallites are linked on the edges and look like a chain – hence the name. I would hesitate to place an age on this since it appears to have been transported by water or glaciers depending on your location.

I agree with @jkallmeyer. The specimen is really worn and over worked – but that makes it really interesting in other respects.

6 years, 4 months ago6 years, 4 months agoHi, Sadie!
Thank you for adding me to your community! I hope to learn lots from your group through research and interactions. I also hope you can appreciate the eagerness of someone wanting to learn about something they have had no formal teaching or training in — just personal research and surmising (guessing). Anyway, I have lots of qu…[Read more]
