I'm wondering if anyone on this newsgroup can help me to identify the
below fossil, which I found on the surface in south Louisiana:

The reverse side is shown here:

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?

It is quite worn. And it's hard to tell from the pictures. But it
could be an echinoid. It's very hard to say with certainty.
