Fern ?

This looks more shell-like than plant-like, to me.  :unsure:

 

Cropped and contrasted:

Maybe a trace fossil?

Could you perhaps an additional photo more zoomed in would help to see the details better?

 

From what can be seen it more resembles shell segments overlapping one another, like snake scales. Also, fern fossils lay flat on the matrix conforming to the shape of the rock layer they're lying on. This fossil is more raised and juts out of the matrix a little.
