I brought home a few pretty big chunks of this stuff, not sure what it is or if it was worth the carry home. I haven't had a chance to polish any of it, but it looks like it would probably take a nice polish. Any ideas?

From here, these resemble marine fossiliferous chert, again, very similar to material that I find in Kentucky, West Virgina, & other midwestern limestones from the Mississippian.
If it is hard enough to be chert, definitely takes a great polish. Can also have some really scenic fossils or patterns in there & make some good cabs, carvings etc.

Looks good! I've seen similar stuff in Florida.
