    It’s a rock that’s been holed by boring clams: https://carnegiemnh.org/not-boring-clams/

    If you want to know what kind or rock it is, I can’t help you there.

        You’re welcome. Used to see rocks like that all the time when I lived at the beach, sometimes with the clam shells still embedded.

    It looks like an igneous rock or a rock that was formed through the cooling of magma
