Identification Please

Hello everyone I'm new to this and I would like to ask for any knowledge pertaining to this rock.....or thoughts thanks

Hi 

in the USA in Oklahoma we find Barite crystal formations with sand coatings that are called Barite Roses. Selenite (gypsum) and Calcite crystal clusters can also form under similar circumstances with sand coatings and inclusions.

Welcome to the forum Edwardo. Reminds me of a large petrified walnut. Very cool!

One thing that might help identify it as Barite or another mineral : Does it feel light or heavy for its size?  Barite has a heavy feel, gypsum and selenium feel lighter.  Nice find.

What might this be? Sandstone but odd.

Looks like a coprolite.  See the images from a Google search for coprolite.  You're not ****ing us are you Edwardo?

Looks like a possible sedimentary concretion (elongate concretion) to me. Could just as easily be a waterworn piece of sandstone.
