Horn Shape Coral Fossil -
Kueichouphyllum Sinensis
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Cnidaria
Class: Anthozoa
Subclass: Zoantharia
Order: Rugosa
Scientific name: Kueichouphyllum Sinensis
Era: Lower Carboniferous
Origin: Guizhou Province, China
The Rugosa, or horn corals, were an order of cnidaria (corals) which became entirely extinct by the end of the Permian period, about 250 million years ago. They are thought to have captured prey using stinging tentacles that sprouted from the tip of the "horn". Fossil horn corals are known from many locations worldwide, and some types show colorful radial patterns inside, and are cut for use in jewelry.
Horn corals are the most common type of fossil with a horn shape. If you can see inside the cup, corals will have grooves or lines radiating out from the axis. They are generally less than 3 or 4 centimeters in width, but some grew to lengths of more than a meter. Large horn corals are most common in Devonian strata.
Corals are simple animals that secrete skeletons made of calcium carbonate. They are close relatives of sea anemones and jellyfish and are the main reef builders in modern oceans. Corals can be either colonial or solitary.
As fossils, corals are found worldwide in sedimentary rocks. Based on these fossils, we know that the corals began their long evolutionary history in the Middle Cambrian, over 510 million years ago.
Corals are simple animals, characterized by their radial symmetry and lack of well-developed organs. The polyp, the soft part of the coral, is essentially a small digestive sack made up of an inner and outer wall, separated by a gelatinous layer (see diagram). The mouth, surrounded by stinging tentacles, forms an opening through which food enters and waste products are expelled. The hard external skeleton is secreted by the polyp's outer wall. These calcium carbonate structures are the part of the animal most likely to be preserved as a fossil.
