Can someone help identify this fossil? To my untrained eye, it looks
like it might be a trilobite. Of course, I could be completely wrong.

Hello!
It's surely a fossil of some kind, but it doesn't look like a trilo 4 me.
Cheers, Dawid

...but i would say it's a sectioned part of a reef complex. An elements of
corals mayby?
Where was it find? Do you know it's age? What is the rock kind?
Write as many information as posssible.

Possibly section of corals, though I can see why you think it is a
trilobite. Can we have some more details, location ( physical and
stratigraphic) - what is the rock matrix? There look like shel
fragments in there too. can we see a view from another angle?
Too little info there to give a positive ID yet.
