Fossil Reef Matrix from San Salvador
This is a really cool fossil piece. I was told that a bunch
of shells were moved during a storm event and covered the elk horn coral which is
underlying the shells. There is also
fire coral, sea snails, and possibly some kind of clam or scallop shell in this
one piece.
