Lucid_Bot Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Howdy! Chiseled this out of a rock today. I thought it was a coral at first, but not quite sure now. The final picture is a cross section of the inside. Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacTheFossilMan Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 You were right! It's from the extinct order Rugosa, or the "horn corals". 1 2 ~ Isaac; www.isaactfm.com "Don't move!

IsaacTheFossilMan Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) It's most likely Stereostylus sp., a common solitary rugose coral in Pennsylvania.

I think you're spot on! I just found this picture of Stereostylus and looks a lot alike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
