Wasn't sure if this was a rock or fossil?

I would say this is geologic, so not a fossil.

One thing that may help is to get a geologic map of your area. USGS should have some available online.

It is not a fossil. It is called "hackle fringe" and is a caricature of a pressure fracture. The orange color is a mineral stain.
