Hi guys, I found this rock about one hour east of Quebec City in a wooden area a few years ago. I have no clue if its some kind of fossil, a meteorite or an artifact. Thanks for your help

That appears to be a bolide~ might not have spelt that right. Basically a flung bit of melted rock usually volcanic in origin.

Get a second opinion in the artifact forum. My first impression is it's a sedimentary rock...But I'm not sure!

A bolide? Like from a volcano? Near Quebec City? No, I don't think so.

It's a concretion. Look up Fairy Stones, they're amazing concretions of a different color from Quebec.
