Auspex Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 It looks to me to be a water-worn piece of sedimentary stone, with calcite layers.

Fossildude19 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Welcome to the Forum. Can we get a picture from directly above the item in question? It looks like a micro crystaline quartz or chert-like rock. The item may be a geologic feature, or an internal mold of a bivalve or brachiopod. Hard to ID from just a mold as they lack detail necessary for ID. Where was it found, and have other fossils been found in the vicinity?
