The answer is a fossil of an amphibian. Fossils are shaped in various distinctive ways, yet most are framed when a plant or creature passes on in a watery domain and is covered in mud and residue. Delicate tissues rapidly break down leaving the hard bones or shells behind. After some time silt works over the top and solidifies into shake.
