This small fossil appears to be a sponge called
Ischadites sp. in the order of Receptaculitida. It was found in the Waldon Shale of Clark County, Indiana. The creature existed in the Silurian Period.
Go to this
LINK to see an article as to whether is creature is a sponge or a plant. A picture of an
Ischadites barrandei can be seen there as well. This
LINK shows an illustration of an
Ischadites koenigi.

Thanks to Herb for the fossil identification.
