🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Fossil?

[JPetersen]

A friend of mine found this in a creek in Westmoreland, TN. I told him I’d post it online to help him in figuring out what it is. I forgot to measure in our brief interaction, but it’s about 2” long.

Anyone have any idea what we are looking at?

Kinda looks like Buffalo horn to me, but just a wild guess.

Could you tell me why you think it might be a buffalo horn?

Looks to me like a heavily eroded horn coral.

That's what it looks like to me. Could be just most of the tip since only 2 inches long.
Again. I am just guessing based on the pic and am no authority on fossil ID.

It definitely looks like horn coral. He was hoping for something…cooler.
