Looks like a fossil coral (or something similar). What happens if you drop vinegar on it? Does it fizz?

Your rock is most likely colonial horn coral fossil. It is common fossil in middle Devonian Period in Kentucky. I won't venture a guess on species from just an image. Kentucky Geological Survey has a nice introductory guide to fossil corals.
