I am new to this group and would appreciate any help provided in identifying this fossil.  All I know is that it is a coral; I found it in the Wainfleet, ON area decades ago.

This looks like a nicely preserved rugose coral.  (Blue text = clickable link)

Sometimes known as "horn" corals.

Agreed. A solitary rugose “horn” coral. Someone more familiar with the area it was found in may be able to provide further insight.
