I cut this sandstone rock open the other day and found this cavity inside with these layers if sandstone inside surrounding a stick like object also made of sandstone. Does anyone have any idea how it formed? It was found in eastern Kentucky Carboniferous layers.

Thank you RD! I didn't think it looked right to be a fossil. And yes where I found it is iron rich all along the creek.

When I first saw it the thought that leapt to my mind, before I read
@RD
's link was that it looks like a geode of some description.

It looks like one of those
reaction-diffusion
patterns ...
http://www.evsc.net/projects/reaction-diffusion-2
Reaction-diffusion does shape living things
, so the patterns/forms created can look biological.
