Found this while shark tooth hunting with my son but unsure what it is. Looks like petrified wood but has knots all over it. Any ideas what I have here? Thanks.

the liberty of cropping your images. (which are quite good, btw. :) )

It could be a nugget of limonite, shot full of small ferrous concretions.

Thanks. Would I be able to test that with a magnet. That would be iron correct?

No, limonite (rust) is not magnetic.

Oxidized iron.

It looks like petrified wood with some concretionary material on it.
