Lnork Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 My daughter found this off of Lake Huron shoreline and did a lick test and it stuck.We tried looking online but couldn’t figure it out, does it look like a fossil and if so what kind? Thank you! We are newbies here. (Front and back pictures) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TqB Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Looks more like a tabulate coral than rugose, Cladopora or Thamnopora sort of thing. Edited September 1, 2022 by TqB 2 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
