Hello

wondering if anyone can help me with a correct Id. It was found at the Sulphur road cutout in southern Indiana. I’ve been told it’s a few different things but I’m still not sure. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. I’ll answer any questions I can.

I would hazard a guess at a rugose coral encrusted with some sort of bryozoan.

Definitely fish bone, although I'm not sure exactly what it is. Teeth and denticles are relatively common there.

The texture has the look of cartilage but the shape doesn't spark recognition of anything in particular.

It was on I64 but I don’t know the other highway. It was collected years ago and I’m not familiar with the area as I’m not from there. I was only passing through.
