Something tells me this is an individual coral that somehow has been neatly separated from a colony.

This is a solitary rugose coral, Lobocorallium trilobatum.  It occurs in the Upper Ordovician Stoney Mountain Formation, Gunn Member, exposed at Stoney Mountain north of Winnipeg.  The strongly trilobed cross section is very distinctive of this species.

 

Here are links to a couple of other Forum posts that show this species:

 

 

I used to live in Winnipeg and this was one of my favorite fossils to find.
