Looks like someone poured cement to make a cast of a tire tread?

Agreed, but it could also be Bigfoot masquerading as the Michelin Man?

Thanks for your opinion and the photographs......

I don't believe it is a clay mixture. If you blow up the pictures you will see a lot of sand and rock crystals not evident in fired clay.

It looks like plaster that was on wire mesh.

Looks like a potsherd to me. Sometimes these were made by pressing clay into a woven basket and then the basket was burned away as the clay was fired. @ Back-Of-The-Boat clay comes in many different grades, not all is fine as porcelain. Many of the potsherds I find have small quartz rocks embedded in them. It all depends on the clay deposit and how long the potter spent refining their slurry. I've actually found parts of larger pots that had twigs in them and when fired the twigs burned away leaving a void (gee i wonder why that pot didn't make it?)

Kinda looks like a Goodyear All terrain.

Actually no, There are many, and I mean many different type of clay mixtures, even a plethora of recipes that specifically add sand or grog or other materials to reduce expansion and contraction and add structure to the clay. On top of that if you look at pottery from different regions of the world at different periods you see so many types of clay because people used what was available around them. Porcelain in china thousand years ago for example, they had an abundance of good material for it. Here in my home town it was terra cotta from red clay in the 1800's.
