    Similar to petoskey stones found in Michigan. Ancient fossilized coral that’s been broken up and ground down from glacial movements.

      Unfortunately, I do not think this is a fossil but a concretion, a type of natural geological formation. It seems to be coated (or even made) of some type of crystal, perhaps gypsum? Unfortunately it is hard for me to say as I am no geologist. Keep looking for fossils though!

      This looks like a fossilized egg to me! Like a turtle or snake. I even scanned it through my Rock ID app and it came up as fossil. Cool !!

      Sorry to tell you this that isn’t a fossil but a concretion.
