oak species?
Rick, do you know which species of oak this was on?

With that long narrow base
and what seems to be a flared top, we would think something like Quercus lyrata ??

probably not Q. lyrata
I don't see any galls that fit this description on Q. lyrata in Weld (1). So it's probably a different oak.

I don't think the gall is a Acraspis erinacei gall (the hairs should be red), but another possibility is Acraspis villosa which occurs on Q. macrocarpa. There may be other possibilities as well. It's tough to look up without knowing the species of oak.

Looks to me like the Hedgehog
Looks to me like the Hedgehog Gall. Common on oaks, and created by a parasitic wasp known as Acraspis erinacei
