Is it a fossil or an unusual rock?

[Jane1956]

Hello,

 

We were walking along a beach near Southampton UK and I spotted the stone as it has the colour red in it.

I was hoping someone could identify it for me. 

I would be happy if it is not a fossil as I think it makes a great paperweight. Obviously, I would prefer it to be a fossil!

Here you will find photos of my rock:

It's asking for my Google account.

I'm not willing to click on it to see more.

Sorry for any confusion. I've now added the photos.

Does that mean it is just an unusual rock?
