Briansmith Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I found this what I think to be a fossilized hickory nut that was partially eaten by some animal. I found it in northern Kentucky a couple miles from the Ohio river. If someone could help me out that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Third the coral idea. Rugose corals have a bilateral symmetry. It was likely in tough shape before it fossilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I agree - solitary rugose coral (AKA "horn coral"). 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 It resembles a button coral. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
