Hey @rebecca-oloughlin ! Looks live you have another Carboniferous anthozan there. Probably a genus of coral of some variety.
*anthozoan
Looks like you might have a Siphonophyllia specimen here. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Figura-2-Siphonophyllia-1-4-Siphonophyllia-siblyi-SEMENOFF-TIAN-CHANSKY-1974-1_fig1_39402817
Sweet! I think you are right again! The fossils I have are definitely curved, which is why I thought horn coral, but the siphonophyillia looks just like it, in size plus it’s common in the area I found it in. Thank you!
Matthew, some of the google searches I did called the siphonophyllia a rugose. Is that others being just as new as I am, or are they related?
@rebecca-oloughlin Siphonophyllia is a rugose or horn coral. A very large one at that. So, yes you are right in assuming a relationship.
Thank you for that information, Matthew!
Glad to be of service @rebecca-oloughlin!!!
