Fossil Corals: Coral Reef

A Coral reef is a ridge or mound of limestone, the upper surface of which lies, or lay at the time of its formation, near the level of the sea, and is predominantly composed of calcium carbonate secreted by organisms, of which the most important are corals. (Vaughan,T.W., Physical conditions under which Paleozoic coral reefs were formed )

 A beautiful fossilized coral reef to admire and hope that nobody will destroy it !
