Auspex Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 In the images, they look more like inclusions than impressions.

Raggedy Man Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Looks like chinese writing stone. Sometimes the inclusions take the shape of written chinese letters. I have a huge rock(10lbs) I found on the beach here in Wisconsin. Best regards, Paul Edited July 3, 2015 by Raggedy Man ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusFossils Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 The far right specimen looks like it might contain a very worn fern fossil.

Auspex Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 The features follow the contours of the water-worn cobbles, which means that they are in the rock, not on the rock. I think they are mineral inclusions.
