I'm trying to determine if the coral fossil shown has an official species name. Most references that I have come across do not show a species name. However, I have seen one reference from the Balkins with the name Halysites senior;

Although, I'm not sure if the coral fossil image I am submitting for your identification is the same as shown on the Balkin site.
Does anyone know if the coral fossil image I am submitting has an official ICZN name. The fossil pictured was found in Lake Michigan, USA.
Thanks,
Tromis
