This is a large coral head for this 12 mile section of the Suwanee River(largest i ever found in that section).
Side view
Side view of a core extraction by ancient fellow,to carry out or knapp.The skin chipped off and left for Jamesp to tumble:>
Top view of whole coral(lense or sun facing side)This would be looking down on the polyps as can be seen.Little chips exposing some silica....
Top view of same core extraction
Bottom view of core
For me to remove the skin off of that coral i would use a 24 once and 8 once long handled hammers and have not done as well.And risked getting cut by flying debris(like a little blood loss everytime!:>)He can get an infection and has to protect himself.And what in the world did he use for tools to break that obnoxiously hard material.
That is one of the only early stage cores i have ever found
