I will leave it to the experts to determine what you have there. Thanks for sharing it. And welcome to T-Net.

P.S. You may want to post this in the Fossil Forum as well.

Pretty cool !
 

I'm not an expert, but every example of a fossilized turtle online still looks like a turtle. I think this is either a weird rock or possibly some other fossil. Doubtful its a turtle though, leaning towards interesting rock.
 

I was landscaping just outside of Little Rock , Arkansas and found a box turtle fossil . i have no idea if it is a rare find but Seems fairly uncommon in that area from what I know . if Anyone has information they can share on this particular type fossil or ideas on who does or what to do with it please don’t be shy . Thanks for your time :)
Just taking a stab but maybe coral?
