FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

I think it’s a tooth
It looks like a coral, possibly a lophophyilldium
This is definitely a horn coral of some sort, I’m not good enough with them to say whether it is a Lophophyilldium specifically. We might be able to say more if you put a more specific location (nearest town would work). These corals went extinct by the end of the Paleozoic, so it is at least a few hundred million years old.
This is a horn coral and a nice find.
