    I’m almost positive it’s a real fish

      It’s not. Google fossil fish. This is not how they form. It’s a super fun rock.

      as I’ve said before, this is not what a fish fossil would look like. a fish fossil would be a skeleton, with intricate bones. but this looks like a rock which has been stylistically carved into a 3D fish with a more stylised, not realistic appearance. which is why l feel that you found an old garden ornament.
