There is a Relish brown sandstone in Ma.

As shown on this geologic map of Massachusetts ( click to enlarge ), the cape is unconsolidated sediments. It is basically all sand, deposited by ocean currents. Your rock, I suspect, would crumble easily if hit with a hammer, or chipped at with a screwdriver, for example. Knowing now the location we can presume the weight of overlaying sediments have compacted it somewhat, solidifying it, but it is not actual sandstone. More accurately a lump of compressed sand.

Just an opinion based on your photo, and where you dug it up.

After a great deal of painstaking research... and squinting and enlarging...

I have come to the very technical conclusion... what you have there is...

A rock.

Who knows what rocks were also deposited when the glaciers receded after last ice age.

So tell me what do you see on the stone? Something tells me you have more questions. Yeah it's a form of sand stone. Was it found it about 3 feet down?
