Small fossilized coral head found earlier this year in Florida's Alafia River.
I've read that Florida's fossilized coral ranges in age from 25-45 million years old when large areas of the state were covered by shallow warm seas.
Looking at all the types of coral that grew in the area, I would never presume to guess what species this is. This photo shows the detail on the bottom of the coral head.

After doing some research, I'm under the impression that this is Gastrioceras sp. Not sure how to go about updating the post though.

Based on the enamel "shelf" on the labial side, I would have IDed this as a retroflexus. May I ask what features indicate desori?

Oh! I am so sorry for the late reply as I never got the notification. Sadly I have not, besides a familial (mostly superficial) resemblence to the modern ratfish (probably from the same diet) I have not gotten any clear answers.
Jokes aside, a true Id may never come unless far into the future. I still have hope one day someone can help with this ID.
