Did you find it on the beach?

 

[Hmmm?]

Good morning Arid..

Yes, I found it on the beach. It's pretty heavy, for a small object.

Why not break up a small corner or something to see a fresh surface? Could be a quart related rock. Reddish stains could be due to hematite.

 

[Hmmm?]

I'll give it a try Eu...

Thank you for taking a look.

Could it be a petrified shell?
