Interesting mineral that may be a fossil

Recommended Posts

A few days ago I found this rock in northern Israel. At first I saw the part you see in the first picture but then I saw an interesting mineral in it, so I used the advanced tool of another rock to open a part of the rock and I found that  the black mineral in it has an interesting shape. So i would love to hear any idea about this rock, are there fossils in there? What kind of rock is it?

The black mineral may be manganese. I don't see any indication that either is a fossil however.
