Florida agate coral? no

Shock botryoidal agate - This was too hot and has too much diversity of minerals to be any tectonic effect. It is not a fossil. Basically a large earth impact occurred, exploded, melted everything around, and blasted it outward. This is a survivor relic called an impactite as a general term. The back side has a granular particle structure from the pulverized particles that identify it as they are in the shock configuration of fractal trees and circles. Take a look.

Mineral Shadow Crater Mapping. North Florida crater is clear but as you see the scatter down the peninsula it indicates you are seeing the residue of large craters not mapped as they extend into the ocean.

Found along the shoreline of the Indian River Lagoon in Indian River County, Florida. You can see bits of seashell sticking out. What are they? Thanks in advance.
