Strophodonta Brachiopod

Strophodonta brachiopod fossil found in the Milwaukee Formation of Wisconsin. This fossil needs to be cleaned as it has some interesting rings on its surface. This might be some sort of coral colony that was growing there or it could be some scattered crinoid rings.
Thanks to Nathan for this fossil.
