Syringopora perelegans tabulate coral and Heliophyllum

These pictures were taken at GeoFair 2009 in Cincinnati, Ohio of fossils in the winning display case.

The first picture is out of focus due to lighting conditions. This tabulate coral is called Syringopora perelegans from the Middle Devonian period. It was found in the Jeffersonville Limestone located in Jefferson County, Kentucky.



This second picture is in bad condition but I decided to post it anyway. It is a lot of smaller horn corals budding out of a larger horn coral. I have found ones with just one emerging but this one seems to have 9 coming out of it. It is a Heliophyllum sp. from the Middle Devonian period. It was found in the Jeffersonville Limestone from Jefferson County, Kentucky (Louisville).
