NZ, unplanned hunt, is this worth going back for?

Hi everyone. Had an unscheduled look at a location today that I was driving by, due to the small tide window for access being perfect.

Unfortunately I had none of my gear on me due to being on another mission. I did however have a screwdriver in the car that measures 26cm's (just over 10 inches) that I used for a make shift scale. I didn't take the rock with me as it weighs approximately 50kg's (110lbs). I am unsure if it is plant or bone, or something else, which will derermine whether or not I go back to collect it.

The area is late Miocene, approximately 9 million years, mostly deepwater sandstone.20240603_132904.thumb.jpg.e83a8278765fb321ba4d506525b886ce.jpg20240603_132935.thumb.jpg.c3b66a3b7aa82d4d102f6ec81f8d927f.jpg20240603_132954.thumb.jpg.c646842b40fe91fc8c5849dd81e9ad7e.jpg20240603_132757.thumb.jpg.28cc57d2e774c644ccf16a4402dc1053.jpg20240603_132823.thumb.jpg.c9421b30a4490818471fc2b6996cc808.jpg20240603_134252.thumb.jpg.e03c306b7b4ec6a4e1127fadae969f6e.jpg

Looks interesting whatever it is?

To my relatively untrained eye, it looks like something that was poured into that channel in the rock. It probably isn't, but it sure has the look. Good luck on ID.
