Looks like a pebble to me.

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

I like a little carbon with my hot dogs but that potato is way overcooked. :)

Nice rock!! Could be jasper which can have all these colors including black.

Idk it has a stem or mouth like part. there is no red, the orange/tan you see has been scrubbing off like I said its more crystalized. especially in the small open area where it is either a mouth or stem attachment???.... there is also a texture to the outer part its not smooth...only smooth on the dark area on bottom.

Another look at my crazy potato. Not sure if better lighting would make a difference or not. Been thinking this could be some type of sponge or water plant, it looks like it had a stem.

sorry for repeating...just thought better light may help.

Still looks like a pebble to me.

Topics merged. 

No need to start another post. 

Better to keep it all together.  ;) 

 

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the others.

No fossil here, ... but an interesting rock. :)

It looks like a tumbled chert / flint nodule.

In A-H, and the last picture, I suppose, all are fossil echinoderms, crinoids and cystoids (in a quick view). I can't compare any of them to your specimen in question.
