I am not sure what this is. Maybe Bryozoan?

I found two chunks of limestone from Madison group possibly lodgpole or Mission Canyon member. Take from upper belt Creek in Montana.  At first I thought this was a coral. Is this a Bryozoan?

Consider Syringopora, a common coral. See one from the Pennsylvanian Naco Formation.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

I agree it seems to be a tabulate coral and Syringopora is the most likely. Can't actually see any internal structure (steeply domed tabulae) that would confirm this though - you might need a cut section to be certain.

Welcome to the Forum! :)
I agree with all the above statements.
(Always, and I suggest this, it will be good a millimeter scale attached to all the specimens having tiny structures.)
