[edit]DescriptionSolitary rugose coral (Marblehead Member, Columbus Limestone, Middle Devonian; lakehore outcrop near Marblehead Lighthouse, Ottawa County, Ohio, USA) 1 (48410732156).jpg |
Solitary rugose coral in limestone in the Devonian of Ohio, USA. The Columbus Limestone is a significant carbonate unit in the Middle Devonian of central and northern Ohio. It's actually part of a much more widespread sheet of Devonian carbonates that extends from New York State to the Midwest. The Columbus Limestone represents deposition in a subtropical, shallow-water, carbonate platform environment. The rocks are principally micritic limestones, fossiliferous wackestones, and fossiliferous packstones. Some chert nodules are present in the unit. Fossils are typical Paleozoic shallow marine invertebrates - favositid corals, rugose corals, stromatoporoids brachiopods, crinoids, blastoids, bryozoans, trilobites, bivalves, gastropods, cephalopods, rostroconchs, and tentaculites. Microfossils include conodonts and charophyte oogonia. Other fossils in the Columbus Limestone include vertebrates (fish), land plants (rare), and trace fossils. Some fossil horizons in the Columbus Limestone are partially silicified. Seen here is a silicified fossil coral in a Columbus Limestone outcrop on the shores of Lake Erie. Corals are essentially sea anemones (polyps) that make a skeleton, which is usually mineralized. Most corals are colonial, but some are solitary. This is a solitary rugose coral, also known as a "horn coral", in reference to the tapered solid skeleton. The original hard parts were composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), but the fossil is now composed of quartz (SiO2). Fossilization involving a change in the crystal structure and mineral composition of the hard parts is called replacement. Quartz replacement is called silicification.
