My gut reaction to this is some type of Foramanifera, or Nummulites type fossil .

I'm almost sure there are Nummulites, but some of them might have strange patterns(maybe something regarding to Beekite?).

I seem to see some canalifera operculin.
  Foraminifera nummulites Miocene.

I agree for Nummulites but I think it's eocene level

yes, it is more possible Eocene. I should have included it as a major possibility, although I have numulites from a small Miocene deposit, close to home. (according to geological map).

 

Karelv tell us if it is Eocene.
