Found a weird layered rock in a creek near Boulder last month, my buddy says it's just shale but I think there's a fossil in it. What's your take?

Oh man, get it wet and look close! Shale splits apart pretty easy, so you might see more detail if the rock is damp. Could you post a picture of the wet surface?

Wetting it could mess up the surface details though.

Tessaperry has a good point about wetting it. Shale does show more when it's damp, just be careful not to damage anything. Boulder creek finds can be tricky because the rock layers there get all mixed up. Could totally be a fossil imprint if it looks like a leaf or a shell shape. A close up picture would really help.
