Turtle shell or just shell?

I can't resolve it as either. I'm afraid you may be trying to photograph it from closer than your camera can focus.

I agree - most likely a geologic oddity, not a fossil.

Looks geologic to me, also. :(

Looks like a highly erroded separtian nodule. The outer rind is melting away.

It might also be a fragment of bivalve shell with borings from a sponge, like Cliona. We find similar things in the Cretaceous of NJ.
