Possible Huge Bryozoan/Anthozoan

Hello all! I was hunting for fossils in Owingsville, KY on a road cut that contains the Drakes Formation (Late Ordovician). Plenty of brachiopods, small bryozoans, cephalopods and other common Ordovician fossils found. I happened upon this piece, at first just thinking it was geologic with some bryozoan encrusting/deposited within the rock. I almost left it behind but couldn't help but wonder if it was all one piece and that it may truly be an example of large bryozoan or coral. I was curious as to what you all think, whether it be one of the two, mostly geologic or what have you.5cdef91f3f8f8_08E6CB28-F1AE-4138-96E3-A9E0D3824F2D(1).thumb.jpeg.291a957206b31c3cb36380af1453cceb.jpeg

First photo is the bottom, second from the side and the third is from the rear (in contrast with the very first photo I had uploaded). Final photo shows some surface texture which tells me that either it is bryozoan encrusting or shows that this could be one whole bryozoan colony (maybe?).
