Mystery fossil from a newbie

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any idea what this might be? 
I found it on the beach Galveston Island, Gulf side west. 
February 2020 on a grey and windy day.  
 

I am new here, where ever we have traveled my head has always been down in the hope of finding new treasures.  To hold a relic of ancient times in your hand is something very special.

It is the base plate for drum ( or similar) fish teeth.

The teeth ( crowns) have all fallen out.

Ooo that’s exciting! 
Thank you both. 
At first I convinced myself it was a bryozoan but when I blew up the pictures I realized there was more structure.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
