Summary: A strange creature in a rock crevice? Or, you know...not? Either way, I thought of 'The Imago Sequence' by Laird Barron.

The first of the 12 mysterious photographs "revealed" in a recent Tats video was "The Creature in the Rock Crevice", which interestingly looks neither convincing nor unconvincing, and it turns out my brain takes something-like-hominids being something-like-absorbed-into-rock and files them next to Laird Barron's "The Imago Sequence". And while this is not Imago Alpha, by a long shot, for those who have read the story, see:
As explained the write-up over at GhostStudy.com, it was originally passed off as a strange creature caught on camera in a cave [with sinister warnings, a flash, and a scream] in Saudi Arabia but was later confirmed as rock carving from the Crystal Quest section of Cheddar Gorge. Which has a lot of goblin-esque carvings. Still, you know...Imago imago...
The second thing I thought of? Junji Ito's "The Enigma of Amigara Fault":
