Decided to check out a short little creek that runs through the bottom of a small draw. I've hunted it before and knew about this fossil but I had never picked it up because it is somewhat large and bulky. Today is the day I finally picked it up. It is some sort of lithostrotion coral, it dates back to the ordovician period. SE Missouri find. I know its not much for scale but it is leaning up against a 6×6 in the pics.

Nice specimen. Most corals are not very impressive.
In this case nice "size matters".It is a "Rock" when it's on the ground.
It is a "Specimen" when picked up and taken home.
