There are nice foraminiferans enclosed in the pebble. :)

It is an interesting little rock with unusual shapes. Good find. The spiral could be Orbitolites: a genus of foraminiferans of the Eocene that form thin, broad, circular disks containing numerous small chambers disposed concentrically about a few spirally wound primordial chambers.
