Is This A Fossil?

This is yet another rock I collected on the shorelines of Lake Texoma, Oklahoma in an area with lots of limestone from the Cretaceous. It reminds me of a sponge, but it may just be a rock. Does anyone know? (Pardon the tiny hand. My daughter was helping out with the staging of the item.)

Need more pictures to be honest, from different angles. It could be anything from a block of limestone to a rudist reef piece.

the side view looks a lot like a stromatolite, though those that I'm familiar with from around here are solid. But after looking at some images of other Cretaceous stromatolites, I'm thinking that's what it is.

Looks like stromatolites ( from colonies of algae) or rudists.

Thanks for your help in advance.
