Hello! I found this rock on a former river bed in a forest in Romania. If it helps, the rock type in this area is from pleistocene. I tried finding a simillar one with the same pattern and color but couldn’t find one.

 

Thank you in advance!

Hole patterns look too random to be a fossil.

They look like gas bubbles in a volcanic rock.

Looks like some sort of tuffa or pumice?

I would say it could be a limestone with traces of wormtubes, or a limestone we're acidic water formed the holes. I find many of them on the Baltic sea, but still dont know what they actualy are. So, good that someone adresses this topic.

I thought too that the holes are caused by gas bubbles but couldn t find a cause. The closest vulcano that is inactive is 150km(90miles) away. The area has gas resources though if this information help.

thank you for your help!
