- Fossilized colonial coral, middle Devonian in age. Common throughout North America. Species: Pachyphyllum. Warm shallow ocean environment. Limestone matrix. Has undergone weathering. Coral structure is well defined. Small crinoid fragments exposed on one side. Recrystallization of the rock is occurring is some areas, calcite crystals growing in the vugs (cavities). These types of coral fossils are very common in Western Canada and could have been collected locally.

- Solitary rugose (horn) coral. From the Devonian/Mississippian period. Coral was attached to sea floor at pointy end, lived in shallow warm seas and would have caught food with tentacles that come out of top end. Host rock is limestone. Several brachiopod shells and bryzoa. Many fragments of brachiopods and crinoids indicative of turbulent conditions or high energy environment. Sparkles are faces of calcite crystals. These types of coral fossils are very common in Western Canada and could have been collected locally.
