It seams to be rock but it's light and looks rusted on the bottom. There is a very clear imprint of a shell in it that I don't know if it's natural or somehow man made. This one really has me scratching my head.

Looks like a small scallop shell in sandstone. I'd say it's a fossil.
 
Sure looks good to be a fossil - clearly things are not always what they seem , but without compelling evidence to the contrary i'd go
with it .
 
That's awesome! How old could it be?
 
Sure looks like a fossil. And heavy enough to weigh down my pile of monthly bills. Maybe. Carl

Nice but I don't get it lol are you saying it could be worth money?
 
Could be millions of years old (What's a few million years one way or the other ?)
 
yes if Devonian Period of the Paleozoic Era,
it could be 400 million years old give or take.

Cool old Find :thumbsup:

Found it near the Susquahana river in NEPA if that helps.

well I'm NE PA just east of the Susquehanna & do find those when hunting a Devonian period pit here
so I'm gonna stick with
Brachiopod or Clam & 400 million years old give or take.
 
I love fossils. Hate to say it's not worth anything though. She'll fossils are quite common. I also agre it is probably around 400 million years old or so. The rock does appears to be layers of sandstone. Gotta love it though :). Thanks for sharing.
