I found this down West Runton today (Cromer), I have spoken to someone online and they say it's probably dried out iron-rich clay or pyrite-rich clay, i have looked on the internet but looks noting like it, i know its hard to tell from photos but hope you can help, i thought maybe turtle/tortoise shell of something

I took the liberty of cropping and brightening, then enlarging your pics.

Would it be possible to have a full on view of the "back" side of the item - the oblique view is not the best.

Personally, I think it is a piece of very fine grained sandstone/mudstone/siltstone that shows mudcracks.

Let's see what others say, though.

Possibly limonite or hematite. I have found similar pieces here in the U.S.
