Looks like calcite. Perhaps say more about where this was found?

Welcome to the Forum. :)

 

It is a septarian nodule/concretion

That one might polish up nicely.

Welcome to The Fossil Forum!  I agree with Kane...it looks a lot like calcite in some sort of shale concretion.  We find those a lot in some areas here in Texas.  It is very pretty!

That is a pretty septarian nodule. As Fossildude19 said, they can clean up nicely. Here is one I found in North Texas.

No doubt, it's a septarian nodule . I agree with Tim.

Thank you for all of your comments. Very helpful.

 

In response to Kane I found this in North Devon, UK.

 

I will try to post some more of what I have found soon.
