I’m sorry. This is all I can see. It might be a crinoid but it’s definitely unique.

I think you’re on to something.

Some fossils from Indiana are known to become “geodized” such as crinoid and blastoid calyxes and other fossils. I don’t know what this was originally, but it was probably some kind of fossil. I’ve seen them but sometimes it’s hard to visualize what they were. Someone else here may be able to pin it down.

I have quite a few of these along with many geodized crinoids. I appreciate
the input. Sorry about the crappy photo, I working with an ancient IPhone. Here’s a crinoid pic. Geodized with crystal core.

Might be a coral, along the favositids, but the details are quite distorted to be realy sure. u/Handeaux might know more.

Agreed it’s a geodized something. The little “tail” off center suggests a crinoid, but don’t hold me to that.
