Horn coral
Greetings @sam-turner ! as @aiden-gore has said thi appears to be a horn coral and a good sized one at that. If it’s not a horn coral it could be another cnidarian like Favosites.
The geography of James Bay is pretty diverse, but it’s safe to safe this likely is from on of the Paleozoic formations.
This may help with the geochronology https://macrostrat.org/sift/#/column/1592
If you’re working the James Bay shore you have a lot of interesting strata to encounter. They’re is an initial late Ordovician formation near the mouth of Hannay Bay and as you move up the shore it progress to the Silurian and Devonian.
That’s a cool site, thanks @matthew-gramling . I wasn’t quite up to the James bay shore, I was on the Mattagami river at yellow falls. It may have been better for me to to say river shoreline. I might be back this spring for work.
