Hi! I am a new member of the fossil forum! And I would really appreciate it if anyone could please help me to identify this object. I spend alot of time in the woods and tend to stumble across VERY NEAT (neat to me anyway) stones and rocks. This one I found on top of a huge rock formation that sits on top of the hill that is my "back yard." The opinion of others is highly appreciated and I thank you in advance for any thoughts provided.

Welcome to the forum!!  We hope you find some useful information here and look forward to more of what you might find in your area. 

 

Without knowing the specifics of your area, and certainly not your backyard, this looks geologic to me, not a fossil.  I'm seeing maybe some vug (hole) lining mineral that gives the slightly botryoidal texture.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

The "inside" looks like a botryoidal mineral formation, aragonite maybe ? That could fit with a travertine formation.
