Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This fossil is a solitary rugose coral, commonly known as a "horn coral". Rugosans are an extinct group - they only occur in Paleozoic rocks. The soft parts were sea anemone-like creatures called polyps. The polyps made calcareous hard-part skeletons. Most rugosans were solitary, but some were colonial. Solitary rugose corals have a solid, tapering skeleton of calcite (not seen in this cross-section view).

Classification: Animalia, Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Rugosa
