Is this a fossil?

Hello Palaeontoligist peeps, I found this in Knock Co. Mayo, can anyone tell me if its a fossil and if so what is it, to me it looks kind of like a shell. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Looks like a slice of a coral to me anyway.

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

Must find out what quarry the stone came from, it would be interesting to see how much above current sea level it came from
