I found this cool rock in part of a landscape rock bed. Honestly I know very little about fossils and was hoping someone could help me finding out what kind of fossil this is. Since I found it in a man-made rock bed it may be from a different location which is why I've had trouble finding information. The specimen does have crystalline on the inside which I've heard happens sometimes. Please share if you might know what this is!

This looks like a section of rugose coral. There are several great Paleozoic deposits in Michigan. :)

Welcome to the forum from Maryland! I agree with everyone else.

Happy hunting,

Welcome to the Forum,. :) 

It's a cross section through a Rugose coral, as previously stated. :)

Neat find.
