To a couple of us in the lab it looks like those circles have septa in it and we are leaning towards coral. Can you tell us where you found it (country, province/state, city)? This helps narrow it down.
Hello! Thanks for the help! We found it in Russia, in the city of Kursk. Searches were conducted in an abandoned career of marl. This location is not indicated on the map as a fossil location. It was just an amateur trip. But we went there more than once and found many fossils there. Some of them look like sea urchins, others, most likely, bryozoans. If you want, I can send you photos from all sides.
I was thinking that what it could also be would be an stromatolite but this could graitely variate depending on the geologyc period of the layer where the fossil was found
