Need help identifying rock. Please

I found a strange rock in my yard. Not only the rock is strange, but its appearance over night was strange. I cut the grass the day before and didn't see it. The next day while in my back yard it was sitting on top of the grass. Might be nothing, but it has strange possible fossils in it, and small holes that have little crystals shining in it. Any help identifying it would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes, this looks like potential plant fossils.  I recently collected some from Virginia recently that look just like that. Very nice.

I would say this is some kind of Mass of fossils Possibly Brachiopod's and Crinoid stems>?  . We find these a lot up here in Wisconsin.
