Not Sure What It Is

Hi Folks,

 

Found this on a beach of the Island of Ischia, Italy (August 2019).  Not sure what it is and, though I'd write more about what I think, I have no background or expertise...which of course is why I am here.  Glad to provide any additional information if it would help.  Thanks for your insights!

Looks like it may be chert.

I would guess that it is not a fossil, but more a geological artifact like chert with some conchoidal fracturing.

Chert nodule was my first thought. Don't see anything that might be organic.

 

 

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
