Found on surface of field in Eastern Iowa 15 years ago, guessing it may have been carried on a tire from a gravel road, dropped by a human or deposited by glacier. Hard grey limestone. Fine details suggest to me a digit pulled from a carcass & buried. Apparent rodent-like bite marks in both the nail and flesh. This thing is amazing to me but I am having trouble finding much to help identify via internet. Any ideas? Am I imagining things here?

The community I live in was once a farmstead in Rowan County, North Carolina. I believe a section of my yard was once a creek bed. The other day I found one of my dogs playing with this item and after spending hours trying to find anything that looked remotely like this, I’ve come up empty and decided to ask you all. The object is hard, like rock, does not rattle, it’s approximately 1.75 x .75 inches. It’s coloring is almost flesh tone, with darker gray areas and yellowish parts inside the more damaged area. The space at first glance looking fetus like, and there seems to be a little wrinkled piece that looks tail or appendage like. I thought maybe a petrified seed or nut but so far nothing I’ve looked at fits. What do you think? Thanks, J

1.5” X 1.0” tapers to blunt point. Structures up close with microscope are fantastic. the fractals And repetition scream complex multi cell but I have been duped many times by rock before. I don’t see how this couldn’t be flesh fossilized but hey. Found in southern Indiana, but in commercial river rock.
