About North Carolina Horn Coral

The North Carolina Horn Coral is a coral fossil dating to the Silurian-Devonian. Horn Coral is a realistic North Carolina fossil profile built around solitary rugose coral with tapered horn shape. In this state, success usually comes from learning roadcuts through limestone and shale, coal spoils, and stream gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.

“According to TroveRadar, North Carolina Horn Coral fossils from the Silurian-Devonian are found across North Carolina. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.
