Found this rock at our house when we bought it 6 years ago. Not sure whether the rock was here or found elsewhere. Anyone here good at fossil id? Oddball perhaps?
The rock itself is about 8" wide at the widest point, and the round fossils average 1/4"-1/2" dia.

It looks like....A rock...With a bunch of swirly things...and some denty things. CONGRATULATIONS!
 
Looks like it was once mud on the sea floor. Interesting. A friend of mine once found a a giant fossilized shark tooth on the coast of SC after Hurricane Hugo. That thing was about 6" wide at the base. We had never seen anything like it. Years later, we find out from watching TV it was from an extinct species, Mega-something, anyway, a giant shark. The storm surge had apparently uncovered it, or washed it ashore.
 
what ever it is good find!!!! congrats

Im no expert but Ive dug up a fossil or two. Looks like a bunch of crynoid stem pieces.

Thanks. I searched for other pictures of crinoids, and it appears that is what is in my rock.
