Looks like a mineral vein, probably quartz, to me. 

Can we see the underside of this please?

Welcome to TFF.

Agree with a quartz vein, not a fossil.

There is a bottom view

Are you referring to the teeth when u say it is a quartz vein?

There are no teeth in this piece. It is not a fossil.

The area that is white and rust colored is the quartz with iron stain.

 

Got beat.

Welcome to the Forum.  :) 

 

I agree - not a fossil - no teeth.  :( 

Just a suggestively weathered piece of rock with a quartz vein running along the bottom of it.
