Description Fenestella plebeia Fossil Coral – Lower Carboniferous (Dinantian) Limestone – France About the Fossil: This well-preserved Fenestella plebeia fossil coral originates from the Lower Carboniferous (Dinantian) period (~359-325 million years ago) and was discovered in France. Fenestella is an extinct genus of bryozoans, colonial marine invertebrates that built intricate, net-like skeletons made of calcium carbonate, resembling coral structures. During the Carboniferous period, Fenestella plebeia thrived in warm, shallow marine environments, where they formed extensive reef-like colonies alongside other marine organisms. Their fossilized remains provide valuable insights into early marine ecosystems, helping paleontologists reconstruct the biodiversity of ancient seas.
