hello, fediverse. curious question: is this fossil?
i was working on my grandmother's garden when i found this odd-looking rock. some suggested i should split it in half to see if there's fossil, but after trying to inquire more from google, i suspect this could be a fossil itself? i think it was called a steinkern? thanks for the help.

@llarenas I'm the wrong sort of geologist for fossils, but I'm pretty certain that this is a fossil shell - probably a large bivalve mollusc. I certainly wouldn't break it, as it's already complete, and free from enclosing rock. It's very nice indeed! 
@FaithfullJohn wow, thank you! i don't have much knowledge about fossils, and so i was thinking of splitting it too (just like what i usually see online). thanks again!
