Fossil?

Sanderling

Member
I found this on the beach up in the dunes after we have had a string of rough surf and high tides. Looks like a sponge maybe. Does anyone know if it is a fossil or just dead? How does one tell if it is fossilized?
 
Looks like a piece of coral which washed up sometime in the past.
 
Yes, its a coral.
 
Thanks everyone. My first impression was coral, but it kind of looked like a sponge too. It is very rough and sharp like coral, so coral it is.
 
Its a nice piece. Should make someone a pretty centerpiece in an aquarium.
