Ok, I hope this is a fossil, or something other than a rock.  I'm not going to guess as to what I think it looks like, I will just go on the photos since I have no idea what it is.  Thank you for your help.

 

Location: Ladonia Fossil Park, North Sulphur River

Might be a piece of a rudist. I think Durania has been found in the area.

Al Dente has the best suggestion so far. The rudist Durania reached some pretty darn big dimensions and this appears to be a classic broken chunk.  And as others mentioned it has a very "coral-like" structure.
