It's a solitary scleractinian coral. Look up "Montlivaltia", "Oppelismilia" and "Stylophyllopsis" for the general kind of thing.

There are a few quarries that mine the stuff, and it ended up in your garden. The lucky people who find fossils in their backyard, a few days ago someone found a mammoth tooth in their garden! Any way, pretty fossil, good find!

Happy hunting,
