Does anyone know what it is?

I don't know if it's some kind of solitary coral, or what it could be. :headscratch:
The seller only attaches this photo, and in his sales comment he says that he does not know what it is, or where it comes from.
Can someone recognize it? I'm waiting for a response from the seller to know the size.

With this pic, a rudist is also not completely impossible, but coral is more likely. Are these sepata of a coral (very probable) or remnants of the canal system of the upper valve of a hippuritid rudist (nor very probable)?

Hello, Salvador, my friend.:fistbump:

Yes, I would think that coral is the most likely here.

That was my first thought, but not even knowing the size, I didn't trust what I was seeing.
Thank you very much everyone for the responses.  
And also a cordial greeting.  :Wave:

 

Wow, the seller could have put something, even a coin.  :whistle::BigSmile:

Very nice.

Obviously it's a solitary rugose horn coral, though I don't know which one. It seems slightly spinose like Lophophyllidium, but I don't think it is that genus.

Thank you very much Adam. :SlapHands:
A pity not knowing where it comes from, without knowing how old it is, it will be more difficult to name it. 
But at least for now I know I have a solitary horn coral. :D

Hi Salvador, i only see your post now, that's a nice coral. A pity you don't have more information about it.

Hello Adam. :Wave:
I insisted on asking the seller about the origin, and he has told me that all the fossils he has for sale are from Morocco,  but we still don't know the age. :rolleyes:

Hola Salvador, solo veo tu post ahora, que bonito coral. Una pena que no tengas más información al respecto.

Hey! How are you? :Wave:
Yes ! It is a shame not to have all the information, although now I know that it is from Morocco, less is nothing.... :P
