These were left by marine worms that colonized the clam's boring after the clam died - about 125,000 years ago!Ĭross section through a fossil snail (Caribbean Top Snail), Windley Key Quarry. <- Close up of the clam boring shown above. The coral colony is sawn and is not part of a building wall in the state park. The large hole in this fossil coral colony ( Montastrea cavernosa) was made by a endolithic (boring) bivalve (clam) in the Pleistocene about 125,000 years ago. ![]() <- Great sections through fossil brain corals ( Diploria sp.) at Windley Key Quarry State Park. The bryozoan facies, which only occurs on the Florida main, is located more. The oolitic facies is located near the Atlantic Coast (think Miami), as ooids require energy to form. It consists of two layers, an oolitic facies and a bryozoan facies.
