This fossil is coral. Corals are marine invertebrates that generally live in colonies, which are comprised of many very small individual animals known as polyps. A coral colony creates a hard skeleton over time, and this skeleton is the recongizable structure associated with coral. The coral measures about 4 cm x 2.5 cm.
