Welcome!

Where is this waterfall? I've seen rocks like this before on the Forum, but I can't remember what they're called, I think it was something like Andesite or Diabase? @ynot

Welcome to the Forum! :)
It's not a fossil, but a very nice igneous rock. Try to compare with this one from my collection, from Romania.

Those are phenocrysts in the rock.

+1 for phenocryst. There are significant parts of Nfld very well known for them, and there is some extant geological literature on the subject.
