Turd rock (not a coprolite, just a rock that looks like a turd)  Booty rock (not a very big one I grant you, but a nice one set in stone)  Man in the moon rock (Alas, now that I look at it, a bad photo. I will try to remember to take another tomorrow if anyone is interested that is)  Member rock (er....yeah)  Mickey Mouse rock (found by an indegent Mouseketeer)  Heart rock (terrible pic, so sorry, I will replace that one tomorrow as well  )  Cave Painting rock (those cavemen came in all sizes I tell ya!)  Thanks for looking and sorry for any spontaneous eyebleeds that occur from peering at those two pitiful pictures  |

You might want to check your turd rock with a magnet, looks like it could be a meteorite.

And the fuzzy Man in the Moon looks a little like tusk or bone.

Without knowing where they came from, I would almost say the Caveman rock is part of a crinoid stem. This is a devonian period crinoid stem in a beach washed stone.  |

The cave painting rock is probably some type of fossil, crinoid or Bryzoan, but I think it LOOKS like a buffalo painted in a cave, JMO lol All of these came from the chert gravels of central Mississippi. Better pic of the heart rock. Is an fossil impression, but I think it looks like a heart, may be just me but anyhow  Better pic of the Man-in-the-Moon rock. I may be wrong but don't think this is bone  Better pic of the first one. This comes from the Mississippi River. I don't think that it is a meteor because there was a good bit of this there and some of it was hollow, though I could be wrong I guess. No idea what kind of rock it is though.  |

Your last one (turd rock) looks like a piece of water worn amygdaloidal basalt. The bubbles (amygdaloids) in the basalt filled with a soft mineral like a zeolite that then eroded leaving the hollow rounded dimples.

Darryl, I believe that rock came from the gravels of the Mississippi river in the Mississippi delta region. Quite a few of them there if I recall correctly. I'm pretty lay on mineral identification but know a turd when I see one lol
