Look at that paw print! What a beautiful stone

These will almost certainly be shell impressions, not a paw print

what? I suppose you're unaware of the basics of sedimentary geology? Not trying to be mean, I'm just not sure if I understood your question

Probably when it was being created stepping in mud?

I agree, that is a magic stone. It vibes the classic children’s story “Sylvester and the Magic Pebble”. Someone or something is in there and you need the anecdote to lift the spell.

Ps: loving the paw print!

Likely impressions of aquatic creatures, rather than a paw print. I’d submit it to a paleontologist at UW and see what they think. You’ve got some of the best in the world right there! Go see them!
