I thought it was a rock but it looks like a fossilized bat head

[MsRossi]

I found this and thought it was a rock. It looks like a bat head to me. Im not sure what it is. It appears to have teeth a ball looking tongue and even a hole that could be a tbroat. Im stumped can anyone help?

Concretion? A bat's head would be the skull, but not with the gooey stuff preserved, in most cases. But it DOES look like something like that.

Just a natural stone formation in my opinion. Fossilized soft tissue is an extremely rare occurrence. It is fairly common to find stones that resemble features that we see every day. Cool find anyway.

Welcome to TN MsRossi. IMO its just a rock. Our imagination could take over here...

....Well , it COULD be a desiccated bat head....What's it weigh ? Lighter than a rock of that size ?

I'm inclined to believe it. If it IS a bat head, it's certainly not that old. Dried out, yeah. I think you're right.

Edit: I think if tou really want to find out for sure, try to pry away some of the "flesh" and see if there is bone underneath.

It looks to be built up minerals so I would think a broken piece of a stalactite or a stalagmite.

Thanks for giving me nightmares.

I am under the impression that the item has the look, feel and weight of a rock.
