Was out near the Potomac Creek (potomac river area) in Virginia today and was looking for Arrowheads in a stream, and found this tucked back under a spot where a bunch of mud caved in, Have found several petrified wood before and found this rock/fossil/? interesting.... For some reason having hard time uploading the video of it but if you want to check it out i put it on one of my civil war facebook pages..

To me, it looks like a water-worn cobble of (probably) sedimentary rock. I can't make out whether there are any fossils in it.

Yah more than likely a rock , its just we have snapping turtles around here along the potomac creek that are about the same size as that rock like I could seriously take one of those turtles and put it next to this rock and it would size up perfect with it., big long turtles,etc .. Couldn't help but think it was one B)

I spend way to much time metal detecting than fossil hunting, boy i wish this was reaal cause i'd be hooked
