Hey geologists! I found this stone during a hike in the German Alps. Could you please help me identify what I am looking at? Could this be a fossil? I would say the dimensions were 30x30cm.

Thank you for your reply!

also taking photos of rocks, its good to include something for scale, a coin, a lense cap, whatever

Yeah, I was thinking about that only after the fact unfortunately. Was hoping the dimensions might suffice.
