Also, I have one last fossil. I uploaded it also to:

http://picasaweb.google.com/stierle/Fossils

It looks spongy on one side and on the other it has concentric type
circles.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Greg. That is a silicified tabulate coral, probably a favosites. Can't
tell the species from the photo, but the species will tell you whether it
is Silurian or Devonian in age. Also, where, specifically, did you collect
it? I ask this because I can probably pinpoint the strata and hence the
age if I know the location.
