Trumpet Coral
(Caulastrea curvata)
Period: Jurassic
Age: 150 million years
Region: Germany
Corals are invertebrate organisms living in the depths of the sea. There are va-
rious types, such as soft, horn and thorny corals. When coral dries and solidifi-
es it has a stone-like structure. Corals often resemble brightly colored flower
gardens at the bottom of the sea.
The 150-million-year fossil coral in the picture was petrified with all its details.
As can clearly be seen from the two pictures, this coral is identical to corals li-
ving today. This means that despite the intervening 150 million years, corals ha-
ve never changed; in other words, they never evolved.
