Looks like some kind of tool...possibly. What for? I have no idea.

It always helps if you give us some kind of content about it, not just a couple pictures.

Where was it when you found it, are the 2 sides concave? It could be a grinding stone for a metate, it could be broken chunkey stone, it could be just a stone. The pictures make it appear to be a broken chunkey stone, but that is based only on the pictures.

Agreed. I see nothing that says it was altered or used by man.
