Fossil Coral

Most corals live in warm, shallow, tropical seas and feed on plankton. Corals are marine animals with a sac-like body, mouth, tentacles and skeleton. Fossil Coral occurs throughout the world. They are in essence fossil remnants of coral reefs. Fossil coral is actually a chalcedony pseudomorph after coral. It is ancient coral that has changed into an agate. The process occurred when silica in the ocean water hardened, replacing the limy coral. The term fossil refers to any preserved remains or imprint of a living organism (usually ancient).

This beautiful black and white coral has a striking dot and spray pattern. They are collected by goat herders in Northern Africa and the material is very limited!
