It would just give us some better understanding at what we are looking at if you could chip a piece off and post a picture so we could see what the inside texture looks like.
Now forwarding my field in expertise isn't geology but I did work in a crystal and mineral store for about 5 years and i've worked with lichens for even more so I think I have an okay understanding of how different minerals look like.
The rebar rusted and leaked out into the surrounding concrete which is what caused the discoloration. Also, I don't understand how you thought posting this pic was going to help you. The first one was questionable, but this one is without doubt concrete.
Chipping a piece as we speak I appreciate your help regardless of the answer
Of course also try your best to take a focused picture of the specimen.
But no offense to you or anything but back when I worked at the shop we would always get people coming in with iron slag insisting it was a meteorite but 99% of the time it wasn't. Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct answer. Although I couldn't tell you how a piece of concrete got to an area as remote as you're describing you'd be surprised how much junk there is out in the middle of nowhere.

Plenty of infrastructure, old buildings and shit like that is scattered in the middle of nowhere
I work in construction specifically I work with cement and concrete I've seen what it's supposed to look like.
I have a chisel and a masonry hammer the piece will not break or fracture. occasionally Sparks will fly from it accompanied by small Flecks of dirt. I took the hammer directly to it and a small piece did break off. There are holes of various sizes some of which go quite deep with small shards of metal. If I could post detailed pictures I would but as I said there is a 4mb limit.
so resize the picture.
Resized
Doctor who theme plays Woooooweeeeeeewooooooeuuuuuu wewoooooo............
>There are no homes in the area.
Not anymore. Proof is that piece of concrete.
