Any Paleontologist/geologist here?

Wondering if there is any professional paleontologists or geologists here.

Found some unusual rocks on an old gazetted road out in the bush today,while at work.

They are quite light,and different to fossilized wood,one looks like it might be a neck bone from a creature many moons ago,the smaller ones feel very very light.I have enclosed images of larger one.Taken with Canon EF-S 60 mm macro lens (always take a selection of lenses to work).The inner part looks like 'spider web' structure-never seen rocks like them.There was nothing else like them in area,but I am going to look again.

Anyhow,thought these maybe of general interest,and hopefully someone might tell us more about them.
