Petrified wood, dinosaur turd, or rock?

Found this in a hole i was digging while detecting in VA. Didn’t look like any other rock I’ve ever seen here. I swear the outside looks like bark to me... might be crazy..

Could be coprolite, but I’m no expert. I’m sure the Dino poop guys will chime in soon.

Either way, cool piece.

Fossilized bone, possibly?

I think coprolite also as it looks like fossilized plant matter inside specimen and it doesn't have ring pattern like petrified wood has.

Hmm looks like something that was spotted in the main bathroom in Washington DC.

Fabric shape seem to be in it!

I’m really thinking that it might be part of a stalactite.

If it registered as containing metal then it could be slag or similar trash. If your real lucky it could be a meteorite. Those can be worth quite a bit. I don't actually know what it is though.
Does it set off the detector, or was it just dug up while searching for a metal object?

Whatever it is it has the ugliest cleavage I’ve ever seen.
