Looks more like a wasp nest.

If OP hadn't said "petrified" it looks just like a paper wasp nest - that color and curve.

But I could be wrong, really cool though! I'm only a little jealous

Sometimes things do that if they transition phases slowly. One side drying faster than the other for example.

Honey Comb was one of my favorites!
