A bright orange piece of granitic rock - I've never found a bit with this colour before. Likely dragged down to County Clare from Galway by glaciers during the last ice age.
Is there a specific name for this kind of rock? Sadhbh Baxter @drsadhbh.bsky.social

Fossilized communal coral in this limestone pebble. It would have lived and grown on the floor of the tropical sea that covered this part of the earths surface between 320 million and 360 million years ago.

I find Goniatite fossils eroding out of different types of sedimentary stone - these look like hand-drawn hieroglyphs.
