Maybe some shell fragments

The side picture looks like cave flowstone (calcite). This type of rock can resemble shell fragments when it decomposes.

I see a geologic and no fossil on this piece.

Typical Inoceramus shell found around Richmond / Hughenden area quarried for road base.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a botherolepis. But after some research, it does look like Inoceramus.

Keep looking! They're everywhere!
