Button coral?

Thought I picked up a little echinoid until I got home and put glasses on,  thinking this is some kind of coral, perhaps micrabacia? From Eagle Ford.

Found in rock, or just in an area where finds typically come from this formation. The center looks like a rugose coral, but the septa do look more scleractinian to me.

Thank you for coming to the rescue, its so small I was starting to think size does matter. :) Area was straight up Eagle Ford, no creeks nearby, the dirt had never been worked.

There appears to be a surface which looks external to septa indicating a relatively complete specimen. I can't think of anything but a scleractinian button coral.
