Fossil Found - Help Me Identify! :)

My son found this in our rock bed landscaping. We live with the Dayton, Ohio region.

Nice find.  It is a small solitary coral, also known as a rugose coral.  Others on the list who are more familiar with that part of the world will probably be able to give you a more precise identification.

Nice Rugose "horn" coral.

You are looking at Silurian (442.8 - 419.2 MYA) to Ordovician (485,4 - 443.8 MYA) deposits in the Dayton area. However, with a rock bed, these might be rocks dug up from anywhere, unless the company that laid them down lists a specific source.

 

Rugosa existed from the Ordovician at the earliest, until it went extinct in the Permian, which was approximately 251 million years ago.

 

Green = Silurian

Pink = Ordovician
