Hi folks!   I m new here.  Thanks for letting me in.  I have no Idea on this, the inside is throwing me.  Petrified maybe?  I don't know much and I would like some help. Found in East Texas.  There  are many more like it, but didn't want to bring home a 1000 pounds of rocks if that's what it is.

Conchoidal fracturing on a chert nodule. Could be flint. The two are at least very similar if not the same thing. :)

I wouldn't rule out a gastropod imprint on Picture 3, but yes, this is chert/flint.

Welcome to the forum! 

 

I agree with chert; very common in some areas of E. Tx.
