Went through my old collection and found this. Any idea?

Coral, maybe hexogonaria???? upper left picture seems to show coralites similar to this species. Knowing the location ang geology of the area might help in a diagnosis.

I found it in sauble Beach. It was out in the deeper water. Heres are some picks of the back of the rock.

Leaning towards a rugosa coral from those pictures. Am I seeing hexagonal pattern on that first view shown??

Tabulate coral (the most recent image). My guess given the stated location is that these are likely Devonian in age.

Definitely looks Rugosa from some of the images. Thanks everyone! I'm sort of a newbie to this!

The larger fossil is a solitary rugosan coral.  A tabulate coral, perhaps a favositid, is also visible in the top left hand side of the first photo.
