I know nothing about fossils. I found some things in my garden and trying to determine if they are fossil or rock

Thank you. That's what I thought but wasn't sure. But now I'm wondering how it came to be where it was found as the closest lake is several miles away and a fairly young one at that

+1 brachiopod.

 

 

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Could be a Mucrospirifer brachiopod. You don't need a lake in order to find fossils. A large portion of our present-day dry land was once under water.
