Fossil tabulate coral, I think. 

The white bits are where the coral fossil has eroded away leaving the matrix that had infilled the corallites sticking out.

I agree, most probably a favositid. The little rods joining the polygonal corallite moulds on the top are where the matrix has filled the pores between the corallites.

I agree with the others. lt looks like a favositid coral to me also, something in the line of Pleurodictyon I had in my collection from Germany.

Thank you dear friend, family! I hope I will be as I was before. Summer is not too far for a good fossil hunting season.

Hope I will be near of you 10000 miles away. :)
