I was with my little brother when he found this, years ago. Just a small portion of the base was sticking out of the bank of a place where herds of cows
came to drink water. The material almost looks like agatized wood. I almost found it myself ha ha. 20181117_091101.jpeg

Well if it isnt broken and glued back you might want to secure those cracks some how

I think what you are seeing are small hinge fractures that are casting a shadow, because I took the picture in bright sunlight. It is as solid as the day it was made, sharp too.
