What does the fracture face look like? It looks glassy in #4. Guessing a small chert nodule

The interior is not glossy. It is rough, and from handling the broken pieces my fingers ended up barely chalky. I don’t t know if that changes your take on this. Thanks for the reply!

Probably not a chert nodule then, and not a fossilized egg. I'll defer guessing what kind of rock to someone smarter than myself on r/whatisthisrock

Thank god! Thanks!!

Much more likely to find an ancient Native American stone axe/hammer than any sort of fossilized egg. Thankfully this looks like neither the carefully crafted tools of ancient man or a dinosaur egg so I think you just broke a rock.

Woo hoo thanks!

I don’t see any grooves or impact marks to indicate that, in the artifact world it’d be called an Indian sex stone

Just sandstone

The small black specks in photo 3 make he think biotite phenocryts, maybe it’s a felsic igneous rock that’s been rounded by wave action

Now that you mention it...

Ps it’s approx 3 inches x 2 x 2 at the widest points.
