Hi everyone this is Matt again. 

Today in the creek, I found this big rock with a great looking fossil sponge/coral in it.

I some how got lucky when I hit it with my hand sledge hammer , when the fossil coral/sponge came out complete from the rock. 

 

Here are 2 photos:

That is pretty neat looking, Matt! 

I think it may be a coral. 

Cropped, enlarged, and darkened:
