Iā€™m not sure exactly what this is, but Iā€™ve been going through my grandfathers things and I definitely have a lot of stones which I can identify, but a few Iā€™m not even sure how to look up. I figured someone on here might know right away. So, this is about 11inch diameter, I have not weighed it yet. The grey stone is dimpled but smooth and the outside part is rough and seems to have plant growth in it. What do I have? Thanks for the help!

Looks like mine... found it by the railroad tracks. I accidentally dropped it and wala... a stone was hidden inside!!! Have no idea what type it is though.

Just from the picture the first post looks like a conglomerate, basically a cement of many materials, with a stone trapped inside. The second post is a good example of a concretion. Often concretions can be broken and show layers.

The smooth grey part looks like limestone to me.
