When I moved into the house I'm in now, we found a box in the back shed with some plastic plants in it, along with these rocks. At the time, I didn't have a use for the rocks and I didn't think they'd be the greatest for my SA cichlids and I figured they'd raise the PH. I did use the plants however (score ;))

But now that I'm turning my 60 gal into an african tank (tanganyika specifically), I was thinking about buying some lace rock, and then I remembered that I had these out in the shed. Now, I'm no rock expert, so I'm not positive that these are lace rock, but I think they may be. I've taken some pictures and I hope that you guys could tell me whether or not its lace rock, and/or if its not, will it be suitable for a tanganyikan tank? Thanks to all ahead of time.

(NOTE: Sorry for the amount of pictures too)

Thanks ahead of time to all for attempting
 
It could be lace rock, but with the seashells it leads me to believe that it is actually some type of rock from the base of a coral reef. Not to worry though, it will do the same thing to your water as lace rock will, it will raise your pH and hardness.
