Where are coral fossils found?

1 Answer
Where are coral fossils found?
Coral is often thought of as an aquatic rock, but they can be found around the globe in sedimentary rocks and they’re not made of rock at all. Coral is calcium carbonate and it comes from the leftover skeletons or exoskeletons of simple living animals. Corals began about 510 million years ago, which is why they can be found just about anywhere on the planet. Shop a collection of coral pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
