Hi, I found this yesterday in the Bois Blanc Formation, and am wondering if it could be a shrimp tail.  It looks very similar!  Thank you!

Better pictures are needed. 

Looks like a cross section through something. 

Probably not a shrimp tail, however.  :unsure:

Possibly coral in chert. There are no shrimp in the Early Devonian that I’ve heard of.

Definitely looks like chert to me. 

Not sure on your item, however.

Now almost certainly cross section of rugose coral. They are extremely abundant in the Bois Blanc Fm chert.
