It is actually petrified driftwood that is full of boreholes from clam larvae of the genus Teredo commonly know as shipworms. These boreholes were filled in by a white mineral during the fossilization process, giving this petrified wood it's unique appearance. The wood itself is from Aruacaria, a type of conifer and is Cretaceous in age.
