Dug this out of estuary mud (fully buried about 8ft out from high tide line) in NW Washington. I’m a newbie, been scouring galleries trying to get some ideas, may just be a fascinating mix of rock but the dark stripe portions strike me as bone or shell. Weighs about 3-4lbs.

Looks like a sedimentary rock with fractures that have been filled in with some mineral.

Sorry, ... but I am not seeing bone or shell here.

Looks to be possible banded chert nodule or some other geologic oddity.
