Looks like some kind of shell fossils to me. I find a lot of rocks like this. It's still a cool rock. Cross sections of shells in rock can make all sorts of interesting shapes.

Keep looking!

That is definitely writing/heiroglyphics, plain as day. I would do some research of pre-America anthropology from in the area and/or possible other archeaological finds that might match those particular symbols. Nice find!!!

I see nothing to indicate this was made by man.
The markings are not even remotely like any petroglyphs I have ever seen out west. The natives did not carve their symbols into the stone. They pecked into the desert varnish that occurs on rocks to make them (symbols) permanent, not any kind of deep incisions like on your rock. I realize that you are back east and I am talking about the desert southwest. Maybe they did this back east but I doubt it. If they were going to chisel a message into a rock they would have used a softer rock to work with.
Send a picture to someone at your State university Anthropology dept, ask if they have ever seen "carving" like this on any other native artifacts. If they can show you other examples of marks like this then maybe you are correct. My guess is they will send it on the the Geology dept.
Mother nature is wondrous in her diversity. It is natural.

Sorry but it looks to be just a Geofact but to be sue send a pic to your local Museam that specializes in Anthropology or university. I think the rock it's self is basalt please correct me if I'm wrong anyone. Nice find though!
