I've had poor luck with sponge posts in the past. Have I at least got these right ?

They are from north eastern Maine. The rocks are likely Silurian/Devonian in age.

I think Alveolites is a possibility. They tend to have corallites that are wider than they are tall.

'Curses, foiled again' :(

Here are a couple shots of the colony mold. They do seem to be a better match for the coral.

I agree with Alveolites. It has that characteristic corallite section, one side curved, the other almost a flattened "v".
