Well it's certainly a very ancient rock, at least tens of millions of years old for certain

I second that. Lol

I think that's George but can't be positive. Did you do Rock Prints? They might match something in the Universal Database

Can confirm, is rock!

Welcome to Treasurenet. This can be a tough crowd at times. For future pics, it's best if you include something for size reference, such as a common US coin.

May have come off harsh, sorry for that... Anyway, I'm no geologist, so if someone knows more please chime in...

This is riverstone commonly purchased from any home center that stocks landscaping supplies... The actual type of stone is possibly sandstone or limestone... I know this is river stone because it is smooth... Stones that wash down a river get basically polished. If you found this away from a garden it is a sign water once flowed where you found it...

Fossils are very common in these types of stones, around my part of the woods I find shells in them... And looking at your photos it appears you have found some as well... The stone appears to be a conglomerate of some type, meaning two types of stones together... The shell fossils are the "U" looking things on it... If you cracked this open it will typically crack along a shell and reveal a pretty nifty fossil...

Hope this helps

It's a petrified potato from caveman days

I'm not positive it's a rock. I'll need more pictures.

More than likely it's a sedimentary conglomerate leaverite which is not highly collectable.

It has the look and feel of crystalline silver.
