Pair of agatised fossil corals (1)
(23-5 million years old)
Florida agatised coral is famous for its beauty and uniqueness. It is found all over Florida in many forms and colours. Sometimes it is solid but those from Tampa Bay are hollow and can be called geodes. Scientifically it is identified as a chalcedony pseudomorph after coral because one mineral, the coral, has been replaced by another quartz.
