Ordovician Colonial Coral
Here is a colonial coral found in eastern Jefferson County, Kentucky. The chambers are shown as the coral grew outward stacking chamber upon chamber. The top surface in shadow looks like a cratered asteroid where the little coral creatures once resided.

Devonian Corals
Here is a Devonian rock that has coral and horn coral (?). The horn coral(?) is on the top that appears to be eroding. A branching bryozoan is on the bottom. The rock is somewhat fragile and must be some sort of limestone since that is the Devonian layer.
