Here is a wonderful fossil coral from the Miocene of Florida. This large coral has been totally replaced by agate. The exterior of the specimen preserves the coral shape and structure. The inside of the specimen is filled with with botryoidal chalcedony or agate - almost in a stalactitic fashion. The coral has been split open to expose this structure. The many colors and interesting formations make for a beautiful display. This is a very nice example of a classic ''Tampa Bay Coral'' that is becoming increasingly harder to obtain.
