I was on the Oregon coast near Newport and found this really odd looking rock. I've scoured the internet and have seen nothing like it. Even the Google image search feature came up with nothing. Help!!!

Hello RockGremlin and welcome to the forum.

Looks to be a broken and then weathered concretion, they grow in layers of slightly differing hardness, which explains the structure you see. An image search for "concretion" should turn up similar things (and a lot of fossil pics, because fossils are one of the many things that can start the growth of a concretion.)

Best Regards,

J
