I did notice the Pollyp type shape in the middle, and will try to get some more pics of the side that show other structures. Picture 3 is actually a dif. sample but was unable to see how to delete a photo after clicking on…[Read more]

This does look like petrified wood. There is also something known as Rhyolites. They are not petrified wood but can be sand clasts or other materials. When cut they dont show growth rings.

growth rings are usually thinner. This is a conundrum.

Hello, you might want to check imaged of Cooksonia. They are an extinct species of plant similar to moss. That would be a nice find.

In that case consider me officially envious. A beautiful find.

@john-f could you add pictures from different angles? I am not seeing any fossils in this picture but maybe different angles will make it clearer. Mushroom fruiting bodies only rarely fossilize, so that is unlikely to be the culprit.

Your specimen seems to be a red jasper stone. I looked at some pics on Google. Coral shows particular lines and shapes.

This does not appear to be a coral fossil to me
