I found this rock in Michigan, USA. I was wondering what this strange looking fossil is. If it is a fossil. My original guess was a horn coral fossil, but I’m not sure.

Do you know if it is rare? Non relating to value?

As @Randyw mentioned in your other post, we don't discuss values on here.

In the Great Lakes area corals are as common as dirt. They are very nice, though.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Not 100% sure, but I think that species of horn coral is called Heliophyllum halli.
