Need help figuring out a possible fossil or rock from a beach

Sorry for the meh camera quality, but I found this I guess what I can safety call "rock" in the Dominican Republic a couple of months ago and I just wanna figure out if it actually is a fossil of some type. Someone I knew said it could be a coprolite but I don't know for sure. Just so you guys know, I actually was on this forum before. It's just I forgot the name and had to make a new account because it had been months lol

Can We see pictures of the back and sides?

Also how big is it?

Here's some images of the back and the sides. Also a ruler for measuring. When measured longways, it's around 1 1/2 inch long.

My first guess would be an ichnofossil. Potentially burrows, but it seems too linear for that. Wait for other opinions, someone will know :)

I doubt it is a fossil.

It looks like a piece of pottery, possibly archaic (pre Columbus).

 

PS Welcome to TFF!

Thank you and if it is a piece of pre Columbian pottery. That's still pretty cool. Let's just see if anyone else wants to say something

 

also, PS I found my old account's name so I may just head back to that one after this xd
