I found this stone today near a small steam in the smoky hill river region of Kansas. It's extremely heavy and has a slight magnetic pull. It seemed very out of place amongst the seemingly stoneless stretches of farmland. Any ideas or answers to what this is or may be will be appreciated!

That kinda looks like one I have and can't ID. Mine is heavy as lead but does not respond to my detector in all metal.
Mine is possibly a CLINKER.===========

Never thought of that fifth possibility but all very interesting GA Boy.
 
Try the rock/gems section and bring along better pics. Best taken in daylight.
