Hi Jamie, This is a fossil coral from the Carboniferous. It’s a lovely specimen as it’s a perfect cross section and you can identify the type really well. It’s Dibunophyllum ?bipartitum and is from about 330 million years ago. Good find! Thanks for showing me, Cindy Title: Re: todays finds Post by: dingdong on May 19, 2016, 03:55:11 PM Well done Jamie for following up on your fossil find and getting a professional identification its a feather in your cap.😀👏👏👏👏👏👍
Title: Re: todays finds Post by: Val Beechey on May 19, 2016, 04:09:24 PM Great result, I'd never have thought it was vegetable. I found some Ages ago and was over the moon with it. Mine is club root moss, fascinating.
Title: Re: todays finds Post by: jammiedigger on May 19, 2016, 04:14:00 PM Im just didnt think it would be 330million years old thats when countries were all together. I know they take millions of years but waw
