Found by my husband 7/12  near Lander, Wyoming. Sorry for the lack of scale. the whole chunk is about 15cm long. Any leads appreciated! IMG-3760.thumb.jpg.5aa68b9b337844d7edd5a699c325a654.jpg15 cm long.

looks like some type of coral.  I am pretty familair with fossils of Wyoming, but this one is new to me.   Was this found up in the Winds?

Hey thanks, I was thinking coral too. It was near the top of Limestone Mountain ~9k feet elevation.

Must be a tabulate. I wouldn't completely rule out a rugose that was extra weak in the septa department, but a tabulate that excelled at it seems more likely.
