Pecten Scallop + Coral Fossil

I am not sure where or what time period this fossil is from. It appears to be a Pecten pelecypod fossil with small coral colony attached.  Looking at the indentation in the shell it may have had more colonies attached at one time.

It was part of the James Conkin collection.

Striatopora Coral Fossil

This fossil appears to be a Striatopora bellistriata (Greene) coral. It was found in the Jeffersonville Limestone in Clark County, Indiana USA. The fossil existed the Middle Devonian Period.

Once it was ultrasonic cleaned, the white fossil seemed to sparkle quite a bit.
