Hi there, we found this in Stony Mountain, Manitoba, Canada last summer (~Aug 2021) and we're hoping for an ID. We're definitely beginners but love fossil hunting in the quarry down the street, thank you for any help with the pics below!

Pictures are a bit blurry, but to my eye this seems to be a rugose "horn" coral.

Yes to the horn coral. What you called the “bottom view” is actually the top. The pointy end was in the substrate and the animal lived up at the wide end.
