Tennessee Horn Coral Identification

Horn Coral is a realistic Tennessee 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.
