Identification help :)

This stone looks completely different than it did when I found it! At first it looked like a petoskey stone but now I'm confused, I  see a hairy crinoid lol. Can someone identify it for me??

Where did you find this, from what formation? It looks like a coral or bryozoa. If Devonian, it might be Thamnopora coral.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.   

See my Arizona Paleontology Guide    link  The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

Yes, a branching tabulate coral, methinks. 

Thamnopora is a good starting point.

As already said, branching tabulate coral, maybe something like Thamnopora or another genus.

And this is such a nice specimen, good color & contrast, nice arrangement of corals and good preservation. Congrats to this find! (I like this kind of stuff very much, as some my already know...).
