Favosites Coral Fossil

Genus Favosites fossil coral found in the Jeffersonville Limestone of Jefferson County, Kentucky USA. These little animals lived in the Devonian Period and helped create the thick layers of limestone foundation the city is built on. The limestone also helps provide very tasty drinking water to the local population! :)

Thanks to Kenny for letting me photograph this specimen.
