Hey HuntinDog, Thanks for the welcome Glad I found this place. I am thinking it might be something along the lines of this.....



Ill repost over where you have suggested.

 

[Organicseekers]

Its a rock.

 

[Broken knee]

possibly a concretion ?Where did you find it?

Cool looking rock

Welcome from MI

In a sound, on a small beach. It is very hard as you can see there is almost no wear(from water movement), not rounded as all the other rocks were. And the formation of it is very unique, the curves, the round segment at the bottom.

There is this...



And this....


Skin of an elephant, it reminds me of this.

I know, my imaginations

 

[Cresent2030]

In short, It looks like fossilized skin of a large creature.

I’m between a rock and a hard place on this one.

It doesn't to me. Rock.

 

[Seek Ye First]

Maybe it's an ancestor of The Thing??

Not just a "rock"...but a volcanic rock.

A bit of 'site context' behind where you made your find would be helpful to help in narrowing down exactly what this is.

What part of the country are you in, what were the conditions that you found this in.... context.

Looks like it might have been liquid (molten) at some point in the not too distant past. Any volcanic activity in your area? I also like the concretion theory. However I am still behind the rock theory 75% and do rule out the petrified elephant theory completely. I would like to add this theory though; oil or asphalt that has rolled around in the ocean for a wicked long time (; see if it burns

Its a metamorphic rock, where over millions of years sort of time the minerals hardened due to extreme pressure and heat. Then over time, a long time, the softer minerals exfoliated from natural erosion resulting in the line pattern you now see.
