Probably nothing, but then again I'm a noob at fossils and rocks.

I know this is probably nothing, and sorry for being a noob; but is this a fossil? It's just that the lines caught my eye.

 

Thank you to all who reply! :)

I'm inclined to think it is geologic in nature - looks like agate or chert. 

Maybe @ynot can have a look.

You don't have to say sorry for being a noob. Everybody starts out as one!:D

Indeed, we all started somewhere. Better to pick up an item, and ask if it's something, than bypass it, and find out later is was something! :)

I agree that it looks like agate.

All three pictures are of the same side, can You post pictures of the other side ans edges?

PS I agree with the others about "noobies".

Here are some pictures of the other side, also thank you all for being so nice. I don't think that there are any mean people here. Certainly not your average internet forum.

Definitely an agate. The last picture makes it look hollow. If it is and You clean out that area there may be some little quartz crystals in there.

Sorry it is not a fossil.

Certainly not hollow, but I broke it open and you can see quartz.
