Although the pictures are slightly out of focus I am pretty certain that this is a colonial coral.
Possibilities are:
Hexagonariaanna - Devonian
Syringopora - Permian
Septastrea Miocene to Pliocene
Montastrea travisensis -Lower Cretaceous
So there are four possibilities for you. However, whilst I am fairly certain it is a colonial coral, there are a huge number of species.

fossil identification
Submitted by cagle99 on Wed, 05/29/2013 - 00:39.Hello,
My name is Bart Cagle. I am a 7th grade science teacher in Cookeville, TN. I recently had a fossil dig in my class and one of my
students found this fossil. Can anyone help me to identify it? I don't think it is a crinoid b/c I am very familiar with that type of fossil (it does look similar). thanks for any help...
