Plant or mineral

I found this walking,  stuck in a dirt road right next to the Birch River in Nicholas County West Virginia. Just curious what others think it could be. I thought maybe it was just a strange mineral deposit. 

 

Sorry about the wonky tags for this post. This requirement is way beyond my knowledge in the area of fossils - which is nothing. :)

Welcome to the Forum! :)
What you have there is not a fossil, unfortunately, but a nice sedimentary structure with iron content, comparable to the ones shown below:

Thank you. I kind of figured that was the case. Now I can say with more certainty when people ask me.
