Larry, when I was a kid my family had a cabin in Michigan about ten miles north of Pentwater and near the lake.
I collected fossilized rocks much like that. Some had real distinct small animals and bones.
My father threw them all away while I was in the service.
What you have is not uncommon. I'll betcha that with digging you could find many more.
The closer you get to the lake the more you can find because the wind constantly uncovers more.

I have a lot of good memories from there. We hand built the cabin from cinder block and collected big rocks to make the fireplace. I cleared the road myself with a double-bit axe and hand drilled the well, all before I was ten years old. Spent my time collecting fossils, swimming, running through the woods and fishing. That was a long time ago.
