Found this in a creek bed in Missouri. It is about 2 inches long. Any guess as to what it is?

Welcome to the Forum! :)
It could be a horn coral (rugose coral).

Try to compare with this one:

Horned Coral it is! Thank you! I have a lot to learn about fossils and will definitely be back here again! The creek bed by my house is loaded with them.
