Moonscape? Mushroom?

Moonscape or Mushroom, you decide

Small rock (diameter about 1″) found alongside road
Old Chatham NY area.

UPDATE – MARCH 8

We have our first knowledgable report in on what the mysterious rock is: fossilized coral! How cool is that? Thanks to Janet’s sister Nancy for the quick answer. And who knew that I knew people who knew people who would know the answer to questions geological? Wow.

UPDATE – MARCH 10

Another confirmation from a geologist that it’s fossilized coral. And also that it’s quite likely to be from this area, from a time when we were all under ocean water. Very nice.
