    It's very hard bark. About the size of your hand.

    That's a bark star fish, very rare. Legend says if you find one that you will be blessed with good fortune and always have a breeze at your back.

    I've seen something like this but a long, long time ago. Never knew what it was.

    Looks like an exit wound from a bullet that grew over in bark. Not saying that's what it is, but that's what I saw when I looked at it. Weird for sure. :)
