Oooh... I'll play. It is obviously a tabulate. Is it Favosites sp.?
Yes, it is tabulate. I used the generic description because you see these terms in Falls of the Ohio documentation: http://fallsoftheohio.org/fossil_id.html
It is used with the general public since it is easier to remember wasp nest instead of Favosites (for example).
This fossil does look like a Favosites but I believe it is a Pleurodictyum planum?. It was found in the Beechwood Member of the North Vernon Limestone of Clark County, Indiana.
