Need help ID'ing rock.

I found in a load of fortification rock, on Padre Island, TX. It appears to have been shaped into a heart. I would love to know what type of stone this is. Thanks in advance. Becky

Looks like flint.

It does look like flint, where did you find it?

Looks like foundry slag to me.
A glass like byproduct of iron work.
People knap it.. it's a lot like natural obsidian.

Thanks everyone! It was in a pile of rocks, near the ship channel, to the Brownsville Port, in Deep South Texas.

It shows the distinctive identifying characteristics of the natural weathering, and breakage, of a flint nodule. I found lots of them when I was a Geology student on "field trips" in college, and that's what the Geology professors all said they are.

There is a lot of root beer colored flint in Texas
