I'm wondering if anyone on this newsgroup can help me to identify the

I at first thought it was a crinoid, but I find it's too large to
correspond to most descriptions of crinoids.
Could it be coral?
If indeed it's a fossil, which is not clear to me from the photos, it's
too worn for me to have any real idea what it could have looked like
when fresh. But it's too big to be a crinoid stem.
