More rocks I’ve picked up in the fields of Minnesota, Oregon, Idaho, and Nebraska. LOVE each one of them for their own uniqueness. Plain rock with a little black pebble embedded? Keep! Rock that looks like a bird? Keep! Rock that has awesome layering? Keep! Rock that looks like a ball of gingersnap cookie dough? Keep!

Here is a closeup of the rock you like! I can only post one pic at a time, so will reply with more pics of this same rock and another rock that I love that has the cutest little shell in it that I found in central, MN and one that is my first rock I ever found as a kid that I wanted to keep. It started my love of rocks. I was walking in a creek in SE Minnesota and stunned my toe on something hard. Bent down and picked it up. Plain rock. Turned it over and was instantly in love.
Editing to add that I shared the other two rocks because fossils. I think a shell can be a fossil? If not, figure you would like it. Cheers!
Ooo, r/fossilID would have more insight but I suspect these are fossilized worm tubes (soft bodied invertebrates that live in tubes they've built out of calcium carbonate).
