Moved to Fossil ID. :) 

 

Welcome to the Forum.  :) 

You appear to have a very worn down echinoid, or sea urchin. 

Hope that helps. 
Regards,

I am not knowledgeable about your area, so I don't know if they are rare there. 

I don't think so, though. 

Fossil echinoids can be quite numerous in some places. 

Yours is quite worn, and while interesting, is not in the best of shape. 

More inflated and complete specimens are usually more sought after.

Maybe that's where the ancient civilizations got some of their deity & monster inspirations from.... fossils. :headscratch:

It looks like an irregular echinoid with the five petal rows, perhaps similar to Micraster.
Pictures from more sides, location of the find might help in the ID.
