Hi there. I found these two pieces on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico in Florida after Hurricane Hermine went by. I'm guessing one is agatized coral, correct me if I'm wrong. I have no idea what the other piece is, but the picture does not do it justice.   |

Well apparently I don't know the proper way to post a picture...any help to what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated. I did look up "How to use the forum" and it mentions clicking the insert image icon, but I don't see one.

Wow nice finds! I would love to beach comb after a storm! Lucky guy, I see you come to colorado , if you ever make it here with them I can cut them up for you, I hear Florida is a tuff rockhounding state for lack of material? But you can definitely find corals,

I'd call the tow pieces in the original post agatized coral. Those in the new link are harder to say. Some look like they could be maybe be bone or just some form of limestone.
