It looks like a fossilized walnut or brain. I'll try and get all angles so you can see all the strangeness.

Here is a link on concretions.

Nodules and geodes are pretty similar, but differentiated in that nodules are solid inside as where geodes have hollow spaces inside. For instance, when we buy "geodes" and cut them open, the ones that are solid inside are actually nodules, and not really geodes.

Which is volcanic gas bubble filling not a fossil. It is a type of Geode.

My first thought was a broken off piece of a Cold Mountain Thunderegg...
