connorp Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I would guess an eroded coral, but the pictures are too far away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilNerd Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I agree with @connorp. Looks like a very eroded or weather worn coral.

That makes sense, the color and texture are just very different than other corals I have found and I thought it might be something new Edited July 3, 2022 by Harrison Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInvertebrateGuy Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Definitely a Rugose coral from the radiating lines at the underneath of the fossil. More specifically, a Rugose coral from the family Streptelasmatidae, such corals are known from the Ordovician of Indiana and are also defined by distinct lines that go vertically up and down the sides of the coral . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
