Scientists of the early 1800's agree with you.

During the 1820s, English geologist William Buckland conducted an experiment to see how long a toad could remain alive while encased in stone. He placed toads of different sizes and ages into carved chambers within limestone and sandstone blocks sealed with glass covers, then buried the blocks in his garden. A year later, he dug up the blocks and found that most of the toads were dead and decayed. A few toads that had been in the porous limestone were still living, but the glass had developed cracks which Buckland believed may have admitted small insects. However, Buckland found them all dead after reburying them in the limestone for another year. Buckland concluded that toads could not survive inside rock for extreme lengths of time, and determined that reports of the entombed animal phenomenon were mistaken. Most scientists agreed.

Certain toads and snakes burrow in for hibernation. Isn't the entombed frog surprises more of a mistake in understanding sedimentary stone formation? I.e. entombment in nascent shale is like a matter of months or years and toads are actually burrowing machines.

See also droughts ending and toads showing up going hell yeah what's up bros after people thought they wiped them out.

Good chance both those points are inaccurate and/or apocryphal but I want to believe.

I went to a cave estimated to be 600,000 years old and in strange artwork I saw painted on the walls a crude phallus and the telephone number of a "Mike's Mom"

The obvious conclusion is that ancient cavemen had developed the telephone.

There were also old reports of people breaking open shale and living pterosaurs popping out, taking a few breaths, then falling over dead. People just really liked the idea of finding animals in rocks back then.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the idea of fossilization being a new concept so laypeople weren't really sure what they could make up with it seeming plausible, combined with the fact that the average person probably still thought the earth was only a few thousand years old at that point. Maybe add in a bit of a game of telephone where people were describing well-preserved fossils with phrases like "it looked as if it had just died".

Well, these sorts of things do happen, just not animals trapped for thousands of years sort of things. Like lung fish for example can bury themselves and hibernate during times of drought. Some tribes dude digs up what looks like a rock, washes it off and out pops a living fish. Some fail son 19th century aristocrat comes along to record the amazing tale of frogs that get trapped in rocks only to come back to life thousands of years later. Dumb as poo poo chalk miner in Devon hears it second hand and says "yeah, that happened to my buddy in the mine, except it was a giant lizard bird."

Yeah, burrowed hibernating animals is probably the case for most verifiable reports. Especially since a lot of fish and amphibians create a mucus sack around them that dries out on the outside to keep their moisture in, and I imagine that does look quite a bit like a rock like you said.

I remember looking up some 1880s-ish geology papers and they all started like "we set out on this expedition to the vulcanic peaks of the Pacific Northwest in high spirits, with supplies for a six week journey and a native guide we are assured knows the path, although we do not speak their language". Just a Boys' Own Adventure, but they wrote poo poo down and made sketches and maps, so it counts as science.

and the last page would usually be something like. "Those that survived finally returned to civilization on 13th of June 1882. 17 months and 4 days after we had expected to. Of 41 people who left on the expedition 7 are known to be still alive. During our torturous journey we made many new discoveries that have added much to humanities knowledge of the beautiful, rugged and untamed lands of the Pacific Northwest, and consider our expedition a marvelous success. As soon as Myself and Dr clyde barksheer, have recovered sufficiently, and can gather the funds to, we are planning another expedition to further document the area."
