Hello All Fossil Finders! 
New here and excited to share my finds and learn along the way. 
I have searched everywhere on information on these structure like rocks and the only similar info I can find is either they are flow rocks or stalagmites. 
I find these everywhere on my property in the ground and some in a creek bed. 
Live in Oldham County KY near the Ohio river, which it looks also falls in some fault planes. Any info would be much appreciated!

Flowstone and stalagmites/stalactites are generally not this coarse in texture. I'm not convinced that they are.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Thank you for responding! I wasn’t convinced either. When you compare photos flowstone, stalagmites/stalactites. Maybe metamorphic type rock?
I just find a lot of these usually scattered among crystallized fossil stones and they have very interesting formations. 

the larger ones are heavy so I may just slice one open to explore some more. :)

If you do, post photos here as a follow-up.
