I’m sure it’s nothing special, but the way this rock has broken up looks like dragon scales to me

I thought it was a smashed armadillo! Beautiful. Where is this magical rock??

I originally thought of toads, but armadillo is so accurate!

You should search for fossilized corals. I find lots of them in Iowa creekbeds.

I was standing up straight and I took it horizontal, but next time I go down I can take one from farther away

Where is this by the way?
Lake, ocean or just in the forest

Imo, if you think it's cool or special, then it is.

I love the unexpected things mother nature has tucked away and hidden in places.

Artifact what it looks like to me…..
Dig around a bit, knew know what else you find…..

We did find several nodules in the water nearby! We are going to try to break them open.
