There three distinct surfaces being cemented, from what I can tell. Horizontal bedding planes, vertical extension fractures, and diagonal conjugate compressive shearing.

I want to hold, get the heft it, turn it around, look at with a loupe, put some acid on it, scratch it with various things.... I have seen similar patterns of secondary cementation in the wild. There is a lot going on in patterns like that. Pictures of rocks can be hard to identify.

Almost like petrified wood. I figure out how to post it. I keep forgetting how. It had what looks like perpendicular fibers. Almost like petrified wood.
