This is from the Eocene Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation in Utah. Any suggestions or anyone know if anything similar has been found?

Thanks to @rfarrar and @piranha for your helpful input. I'll be contacting the state lands people since this was found on their property and my rockhounder's permit specifies I need to notify them regarding vertebrate fossils.

Update- the Utah state paleontologist confirmed it is a tadpole and it has been donated to the Field House Museum in Vernal.
