I need a little help to identify this fish/rock. My wife found this on our property off Y highway. It sure looks like a petrified fish, but feels like a rock. I've never seen anything like it in my lifetime. I would love to find someone who could tell us what it really is.

Thanks for any input you may have.

Petrified fish looks like a possibility. Maybe a native artifact of some sort? Was that area under water during the 2011 flood?

On a side note, are you still pouring plastic?

Nice! Any real detail that makes you believe it's a petrified fish? What are some dimensions? Would probably weigh real good in a tourney if legal length. :P

Question about the water level is due to evidence of changes in water level causing "mummification" with respect to human remains. Seems plausible at least.

It looks like a whale to me!

Yes, I'm still pouring plastic, when I'm not working on the new house. My fishing time has drastically diminished since I started building our dream home.

The rock/fish is just over 7 inches and weighs about 14 ounces. It feels just like any other rock...............but sure looks like a fish.

I think it was made by moving water.Can anybody explain this rock.My buddy found it years ago in a creek.
