Can someone tell me what is this?

Hi all,
While digging in my backyard I found this weird looking rock, that is imprinted with what seems like elephant toes... I know it's strange, and probably nothing, but I'm very curious about it.
Thank you!

Possibly a cast of smooth [tumbled] stones encased in sediment.
i.e. conglomerate where the pebble/
cobble
-sized clasts are missing ...

Thank you for the answer... It doesn't mean it's very old right?
So no use to dig for more interesting artifact or anything I guess... oh well!
