I'm guessing it's an iron concretion and not a fossil, but I would like to make sure. I have never seen anything like this shaped like a spikeball or flower, except in crystals. Fossil or not, I took it home because it's so interesting! Dakota formation and early Cenomainian. This formation are known for fossilized plants, leaf imprints, and petrified woods.

I believe this is limonite after marcasite.  Beautiful specimen.  Hang on to it.

Thank you!

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