TqB Posted Tuesday at 06:25 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:25 PM (edited) Syringopora I believe. There's no internal structure visible except for a hint of concentric rings which would be cross sections of the characteristic infundibuliform (funnel shaped) tabulae. Like these (diameter 1 - 2mm, as in the OP): (this also shows septal spines - the nearly horizontal projections - but the tabulae are the thin vertical curved lines.
