Coral?

Found this in someone's yard while walking my dog. Strange honeycomb patterns in limestone. I'm assuming it's a coral fossil but it kind of reminds me of bee hives. Thoughts? Easier to see blown up. There are more honeycombs all over the piece but no 360 photo. Also has some small pieces of metal embedded. Try this for larger view.

Got a way to saw it ? If you find more take a hammer to it. Hex patterns can be from crystals removed.

Well, no way I'm breaking it. I'll try for daytime photos and get them up. Thanks for reading.

Did you ever figure out what this was? Inquiring minds with similar specimens want to know
