Mikeydoeswork Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Found this in a stream in Hocking Hills, Ohio. Guessing it’s some coral or something…?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I'm not sure what this is, but I'm not seeing any obvious coralites or septa in your photos. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Could be a sponge ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jursey Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Superficially looks like a stromatoporoid. But the strata around Hocking Hills are mainly Mississippian-Pennsylvanian, if I recollect correctly. The stromatoporoids went belly-up at the end of the Devonian, of course. Since it was found in a stream, maybe it got washed in from Devonian outcrops in central Ohio, not too far west of Hocking County. Just speculating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packy Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Could this be a inside mould of brachiopod. Shape is correct. Looks like muscle scars on hinge side. Some lines which could be edge of remaining shell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
