Hi all, I am trying to identify this fossil from a photo taken at Blue Anchor, Somerset. It shod be Triassic or Jurassic. At first I thought it might be a marine creature but it, doesn't look like a skeleton, so I thought possibly a large plant? It is perhaps 0.5 to 0.75 metres across. Many thanks.

My guesses would be sedimentary structure, burrow, or plant, in that order.

I grew up in Bridgwater, (less than an hour's drive away) and Blue Anchor was one of my regular childhood hunting grounds. 

Lots of very weird sedimentary structures in the shales and limestones there.
