It's a concretion. Look at the last picture and you will even see the imprint of a "fossil seashell".

Concretions

[h=1]Concretions[/h] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Concretions are commonly misunderstood geologic structures. Often mistaken for fossil eggs, turtle shells, or bones, they are actually not fossils at all but a very common geologic phenomenon in all types of sedimentary rock; including sandstone which is made up of compacted sand grains, shale which is made up of compacted mud, siltstone which is made up of a fine grained silt, and limestone which is made up of calcium carbonate precipitated by many marine invertebrates.[/FONT]
