Welcome to the forum! :)

 

I'm no expert, but it might be geologic... or possible some sort of trace fossil (ichnofossil?)  or some kind of fossil algae.

Wait for the knowledgeable folks to have their say however :dinothumb:

Looks like geologic boxwork.

Welcome to the Forum. Do you know the age or rock formation? A better locality might help us with an ID. 
 

Please take clear photos looking down at both ends.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.   

See my Arizona Paleontology Guide    link  The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

I think this is mineral veins with differential weathering.

The rock the veins are in erodes faster than the veins.

Unfortunately it looked out of place so I don’t know anything about the formation or age. Sounds like it’s not likely from a creature though! Thank you everyone!

Miss Jen, Northwest New Mexico,  with your post I wondered what kind and where are and what geological age those fossils came from ... and lo and behold,  found this research paper.  I wish I had one of these for Florida.

It has charts like this !!!!

The numbers correspond to site numbers listed in the Appendix. Sites in boldface type are discussed in more detail in the text.
