Very Strange Rock-Looks like it has a nail

[dignhistory]

This is one of the things I found today while digging at my old home place. The metal detector picked it up so I kept it. I think the pictures show it pretty well. It just looks freaky.

It does look like a thumb nail! I'm thinking limestone - looks kind of limey - also looks it may have been formed by precipitation from another mineral source - meaning maybe its a secondary mineral.

I've seen fossilized Oysters that look like that or small Clams

Hello Okie, WELCOME to the forum! It does look like a fingernail; you should be some nail polish on it! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your finds, Breezie

To me it looks like a fossilized barnacle. Are there any deposits of fossil marine life in your area? We find these all the time in areas of California where there was a shallow inland sea with old reefs.

No fossil marine life that I know about. I do not think anyone has ever dug any where around here. There was a dinosaur they discovered about 18 miles from my house. Closer as the crow flies.

Looks like an eroded piece of a "Desert Rose" - a form of gypsum.
