Hey all, New to the site. Stumbled across this while metal detecting here in east Tn. Found within 100 yards of a river. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi Hiwassee, welcome. I looked at your interesting specimen, and couldn't see a fossil. The odd features don't look like any animal part I can thing of. I believe your cool looking rock to be a conglomeration, a mixture of pieces embedded in silt, turned to stone. The aftermath of a flood may create such muck. IMO.
 
Thanks Kray. I know it is hard to see in the pics, There are 5 possibly 6 (toes) sticking out front side. Pics 6 and 7 seem to have a (toe) nail when viewed with a 10x magnifying glass. I am probably just hoping I have something cool. Thanks for looking.
 
Looks like. I am afraid there is no evidence showing of past life in your specimen. It does look like toes, not toe bones.
