    "in the desert" tells us nothing of the geology of the area in which this rock was found.

    I do think it's simply a severely weathered and stream-rounded rock. (If it's from the Sahara Desert, it could be windblown sand-abraded rather than stream-abraded.)
    “A man should keep his little brain attic stocked with all the furniture that he is likely to use, and the rest he can put away in the lumber room of his library, where he can get it if he wants it.”
    --Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Conan Doyle) in "The Sign of Four"
