Very unusual looking rock (coral or imprint?)

Heyo!

 

Found on the river banks of Humber river in Toronto, Canada

 

I came across this rock this weekend and I was not sure if it was anything special or just a peculiar shaped rock. After some hesitation I decided to pick it up just in case. It has a very distinct wave looking shape to it and the texture on the 'wavy' surface seems rather fossil-esque but I wasn't sure as the cross section doesn't seem to show much of anything. If I had to take a guess I would say its either a coral or maybe its an imprint of some-kind?

 

Let me know what you think If its anything worth keeping or just random rocks:

Thanks for the help!

I think this is just an oddly weathered rock. I’m not seeing anything that screams fossil to me. It is neat looking though! :)

Aww okay, I was hoping it was something. I guess I'll just put it in the garden or something haha!
