Hard to tell but it looks like plain basalt to me....?

I believe its a mortar. The Native Americans used this to grind up stuff. Nice find and welcome to treasurenet

I noticed this is your first posting - so, Welcome Aboard rockypast81! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting your state for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

I see no sign of it being altered by human hands. Freezing and thawing will remove chunks like that.

It could be someone noticed the fossil, popped it open looking for more and discovered it was leverite.

Again, natural rock with a fracture.
