#shorts #corals #fossilprep Magnificent beautifully preserved fossil of a solitary coral called rugosa coral. From the ordovician time period - over 400milion years old
* Follow-up to my earlier Barnacle comment: the earliest known Fossilized Barnacle ever found is apprx. 330 mill. yrs. old. If that Coral Fossil you show does have a Barnacle on it & it is 400 mill. yrs old (or older) then you might have a VERY IMPORTANT (& valuable) Fossil. It also might be just 250 mill. yrs. old, around when Rugosa went extinct, in which case it wouldn't be very special. You might want to have it looked at by a University or Biological Lab? Who knows?
I believe its ordovician in age, i will check that coral when im back home to see exactly how this growth looks , maybe its just some sort of damage on coral
They are extinct died out through the Ice Age I get them but don’t have to take them out of the Matrix. They are not a lot of them here maybe ten trips to the creek looking for agates petrified wood and jasper I will get a fossil find it’s usually smaller icees but they are solidified or agitized here
At Petoskey, Michigan, you can see ten horn coral fossils, without moving your feet! It was hard for me to stop picking them up! My favorite came from Lake Huron, and is a peach color.

Anyone else think that it would have looked like a trachyphyllia or elegance or dendrophyllia when alive?
Nice ❤❤❤
🙏😁
I always love your amber videos! The shorts format looks like it works so well with fossil prep!
Can I ask what air pen/ scribe you use?
I dont have scribe yet!.. i still use dremel 290, and i dont recoment it on very strong matrix:)
This one sells in the US for about $120
Stunning specimen...😊

Would it work if you tried to crack it out with a hammer ?
This fossil was very sticky towards the root - i think i would have crack there if hitted with hammer:)
What is the tools name?
Dremel 290:) and paleozoic needle tips
