grandpa Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 First, welcome to TFF from Austin, Tx. You've found the right place to bring such questions! I believe you have a rugose coral a.k.a. horn coral. It looks similar to specimen I found in Rockford, Iowa in a Devonian age quarry. Where did you find yours? Do you know what age it is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I agree, rugose coral. PS. Welcome to the Forum.

Found it in Vinton iowa but I have no idea on the age, it was during a construction project and everything was piled up when I got there. Guessing not very deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpa Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 My Iowa Geology map shows Venton to be in Devonian age material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
