WV Devonian Fossil ID

Recommended Posts

I found what I think is a fossil embedded in a rock. Because I do not have an HD camera, I posted in addition to my fossil a simple sketch of what I think are the most important features of the fossil. It was found in a creek in the eastern panhandle of WV, Devonian. It's about the size of the tip of my pinky finger, and shaped similarly, as well. Could someone help me ID this fossil/geological thing?

Looks like a piece of a rugose, or "horn" coral.

Very common in some Devonian formations.
