Found on San Juan Island, WA. Is this a fossil fish or a fluke? The rock looks igneous (diorite?) and I know igneous fossils are limited to casts/molds. It seems to have fins and a tail. If not a fossil, then what?

Hi I found this 2 days ago with other lovely stones, cleaned them with soap and then i found this look a like trail of clam fossil (or maybe it's clam fossil inside the rock itself, not sure about it). I know it's unusual to find a Porphyry Stone with a fossil and i still think it could be my imagination, i even put the stone on some acid and this thing didn't fade away at all. Anyway here some photos for you to share your experiences or thoughts about it. (if you require more or even a video just request it).

Greetings Fossil Forum We are here because frankly we really do not know where else to start! Some 50 years ago, while on a semi tropical island... -a somewhat recent (surprisingly thin) lava flow that went across some very shallow water, ran over a large shell. -The lava vaporized the upper part creating an bubble that later broke open to reveal what you see in the photo: -the lower part being preserved somehow with parts of the original shell converted to Basalt, -the rest virgin with sand and small local shells still attached., no Lie! -We are lifelong collectors and have never even heard of something like this. -Here is a photo to get started; we have much more info. We will start a FaceBook and Youtube bit if needed. But would rather goto the collectors on your site to start as we need some advise and wisdom about such a find. Please contact through this forum Thank You tgtbt
