I found this on a hill side in the woods about 3 miles from Smith Lake in Cullman county AL. Can someone tell me what they think or know about it?

The diamonds in a diagonal pattern remind me of the 'bark' of the Carboniferous Lycopsid Lepidodendron.

Better pictures and the location (to establish geologic age) are needed to be more certain.

here are a few more photos . i found it in cullman county, alabama about 3 miles from smith lake. it was on a hill side in the dirt and pine straw beside and old dead tree stump that had fallen apart. it feels just like a rock and looks like one until you turn it over and see the waffle like texture. just curious if anyone else had any comments.
