Looks like the seeds from a weed that stuck all over my jacket when I was in the woods the other day.

Thanked: 246Heh, from a tadpole tree? I really hope you're not talking about "frog seed," like in the frog squirted it at you sense... Ewww!

Thanked: 246Yeah it's definitely a baby frog in the stone, not a seed. Those are very similarly shaped though! The fossilized spinal column is pretty clearly visible. Poor little froggy.

Thanked: 246Do you mean my stone? No idea, it most likely came from glacial till. I found a fair quantity of the stones near a local glacial lake (formed by glacier ages ago) partially buried and dug them up - best guess on the stone is a variety of quartzite.

Thanked: 459they look like capacitors. Do they shock you? Put both leads of one on your tongue and see!!
(just kidding, sometimes they're stuck to my pants when I make the half mile walk through the woods from the public transit bus stop here - except I never see which plant they come off of)
I think you might be able to sell them to someone as "dried mini snails".
