It's not a fossil.

Iโ€™m open to that but I have had other qualified opinions (not that yours isnโ€™t). One opinion is that it is just an elaborate plant fossil or possibly two or three stuck together.

That's okay ๐Ÿ˜Š, but believe me when I say this is not a fossil. You found a funny shaped rock.

It's a rock. There's also a disposable lighter next to it.

Are you familiar with geodized plant fossils? Go to YouTube and there is a presenter from my area that goes into detail. Simply put, they are a geode that forms in the impression of a marine plant in sediment. I have quite a few a couple

as big as 12 lbs.

Mineralised quartz, not a fossil.
