Topic moved to Fossil ID. 

 

What size is it? It looks likely to be a worn rugose coral.

2nd indominus. Looks coral, but better image quality would help quite a bit as well. Other angles? Perhaps even some prep to reveal more?

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.

On the fossil forums we normally do not discuss the value of fossils.

The size would be near the maximum I think. That would qualify it as rare in some respect but they could be common in some formations.

Here is a fairly large one from Devonian Maine.
