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.

Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

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