This sideritic concretion contains a fish coprolite similar to those William Buckland used to create his famous coprolite table.  The table can be seen at the Lyme Regis Museum in England. What is interesting about this coprolite is that rather than the typical spiral configuration, it's producer had a scroll-shaped spiral valve.
