Currently excavating my backyard. We're digging through about 2m of rock (yes it's very expensive lol). I went outside to have a look at the rock and see if I spotted anything interesting. I'm currently studying paleontology/geology at Uni. Anyway I was wondering what people thought of this. It's colour pattern and shape drew me to have a closer look. Am I looking at a concretion? Something else? Just curious. The rocks will be removed and broken up in a few days so last chance to see if anything interesting in them.

Found in the Hunter Valley NSW Australia. The area is known for Permian rocks/fossils, though the sites are about 15 minute drives from here. 

Thanks

I think so. The shapes in it would be some of the minerals responsible for the occurrence.

I agree with you both. It looks like a concretion. :)
