looks too geometric to be natural, but after seeing the link to the fossil tree I'd say it's time to check with a paleontologist that specialized on Cretaceous / Triassic era investigation...

Check with the Alabama State Museum in your area. Check the era in which that "tree existed", In many states of the US during the Creataceous and Triassic much was inundated by an inland sea. Some areas now desert were swamp (with trees as such).. It looks like a limestone/sandstone of some type. But old concrete often didn't have the amount of gravel aggregate they use now so they used more sand in the mix.
Based on the geology you could eliminate or authentic it.. The state geologist could do radioactive dating..
FWIW it's worth a metal detector could pickup mineralization if it is present. Doesn't necessarily indicate rebar or remesh.. In broken pieces of concrete even old stuff rebar or remesh would generally be seen on the surface..
take closeup pics of the mesh area. In fossils your should be able to detect cell structure.
