Hello.

I found this strange fossil a couple of weeks ago and I cant figure out what it might be, my guess is a part of some sort of coral or sponge. It was found in the eastern part of the Siljan ring formation in Sweden, the layer is possibly silurian or ordovician. Any clue as to what it might be?

Looks like a favositid, perhaps with silica infilled corallites to give the negative weathering pattern..
