Wondering if that piece of fossil , whether it is animal fossil during Jurassic era or just petrified wood?

[Engmuhammedammar]

at an area very close to inert volcanic or old volcanic, i found that piece in the picture . and i was just wondering how valuable it is?

Welcome to the forum!  Can you please let us know where it was found and also provide pictures of the sides?  Also, the forum doesn't discuss values.

it was old volcanic area , since million of years ....

More images of all the other sides might help us, as well.

This one kind of looks like petrified wood, but I'm not seeing the growth rings you would expect of petrified wood.   

It could also be either a limb cast, or an ichnofossil, but more views are needed.

I think it is palm wood.

I think it looks like bone.

Wouldn't Jurassic be early for palm?

I agree with @Rockwood, looks like bone to me.

The darker exterior layer looks like cortical bone, with the texture of the interior appearing like trabecular bone. I could be wrong however.

you are right, to old for palm. 

How about tree fern?

Does not look right for bone too me.

There's basically a coaxial look here. Ferns have more of a multi bundled look. And the cracks on the sides looks more typical of those seen in bone to me.
