The conical-shaped rock I found at the other house before we had the gravel drive replaced with rock.
The flat-faced saddle-like one (I have a few) I found stuck in a dead-end dirt road.
I'm not sure what they're made of or what formed them, though (They show no signs of being man-made from what I can tell). Any ideas?
I live in West Michigan, if that helps.

Glacier action probably.
I'm afraid that I'm gonna disagree.
OK. No argument .
LOL.
I think the conicle one may be sedimentary non-clastic (not made of pieces of rocks) deposited into some hole, but then what made the hole? Did it look different, but remain stuck in harder rock, which saw the flat bottom erode?
Otherwise, my guess is volcanic. But we don't get much volcanism under the Upper Peninsula.
Them the composition of the other rock is similar, but I have no guesses on it.
I knew my reply would confuse you. LOL !
:/

I agree !
Well good night. LOL.
Petrified chocolate chips? :P
Sounds like an answer. LOL.
Okay then, mystery solved! :-)))
Huh??????? ; P LOL!
That's exactly what I thought Nevada !
Those are neat....Really makes you wonder how they were form......could they be from the bottom of stream at one time? Constant water erosion depending on how they sat in the water ( Placed ) to make the shapes?
I do not know.........just guessing.......or maybe this helps:

A teacher suggested for the cone one that something like a snail made a hole in a creek-bed. The hole then filled with sediment.
So there's two votes for something pertaining to streams. LOL.
i found a couple of these in our cornfield on the edge of the Connecticut River when i was a kid. i always wondered what they were for and never did figure it out.
