Is this a staff frog effigy or ?

[clistsmith26]

I found this at my honey hole which does not mean a whole lot but I was wondering if it is possibly a frog?/bird? effigy for a walking staff that is what a local collector said it could POSSIBLY be. The very bottom is tappered down in center u can see a few different distinct drilling holes the top and around the sides have been worked into the shape that it is. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated I hope I have something here but the way my luck has gone this far I'm not too optimistic lol. Thank you for your time and thoughts.

Here ya go. I'm not seeing a frog effigy, but there's greater visionaries here than me.

Nice, kind of looks like a foot.

Very interesting looking rock! But imo natural unaltered by man. I would like to know what it is though, I'm sure someone who knows more about it will weigh in.

Nothing wrong with optimism,  but think its just natural.

"There are absolute signs of human workmanship" quote told to me by student at I U University studying archaeology but that person was not sure what it was

clistsmith26   How big is it could yo take a picture of it with something in it for scale. What state and County is this from?
IU do you mean Indiana University

i never went to a big fancy college
but i do work rocks and see no signs of human work on it
i could be wrong though,as i have not seen it up close and personal
but it is a cool looking rock

Sorry, I have to agree with the rest......not an effigy. I cannot see any modification by man

It looks a lot like a porkchop my first wife served in 1975. I threw it to the dogs but they couldn't eat it either so they must have drug it off.

Everyone is wrong.  It's almost certainly, perhaps definitely a Staff Frog.
