Any geologists out there?

I found this interesting rock in a creek bed. I'm wondering what this formation is called and how it's created.

Oooohh good find! That looks like a fossil! Perhaps some old roots or a leaf!

That's awesome!! I get a little excited about rocks lol that's really cool you found that and thank you for sharing.

@ScreamingFox I wondered fossil too but I'm pretty sure it's a natural formation. I have some vague memory of seeing it before, maybe in school.

I considered taking it home but scrambling up a steep ravine and walking 20 minutes back to the car with a rock the size of a skateboard under my arm didn't seem fun. But I put it somewhere obvious so I can find it again if I change my mind.

Maybe in Google images? I tend to agree with @ScreamingFox that it looks like a fossil in a sedimentary rock.

@SageWanderer I tried that first, couldn't come up with anything definitive.

@robingoodfellow Wish I knew a geologist who could help. Everyone I know is either medical or metallurgical.

Lava flow mark maybe? Depending where at

Fossilized organisms?
