Check it with a neodymium magnet. The interior appears ferrous or rusty , like as suggested to be metal, melted and or slag. Some high temp furnace/fire heat.

Shellseeker started following Earbone 12/21/2012
-
Stayed home today. Had a bunch of chores. One chore is to significantly reduce the bags of fossils in my home. Company is coming. My habit over the past 14 years is to return from hunting, grab the top 10 or so finds and dump the rest into a ziploc bag sometimes labeled with date and location. There is some (not much) good stuff in those bags. In 2012 , I was keeping anything not easily identifiable as a rock. It definitely LOOKED like a rock to me in 2012, but the texture seemed strange so I kept it and dropped it into a ziploc for 12 years. Having been on TFF for 13 years, I now think it is possibly a small dugongid earbone and hope that my friend @Plantguy has an opinion since he has experience with this type of fossil.. But, do not leave it just to Chris... If you believe that it is just another rock... say so !!! Thanks for all views. Jack

Sad day to be an Otodus tooth - Rainy day on the Potomac
FossilNerd replied to Atoothsatooth42's topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Not a bad haul at all! I had to look up what “sea glass” was. I’ve only beach collected while on various vacations and don’t remember hearing of it. Neat little pieces, and I agree that the blue ones are the best! -
This was the first thing that caught my eye. I immediately thought “What the heck are rugose coral doing in those eggs?!” I agree with Tim, these look to be complete fabrications. Tool marks everywhere, lack of shell, rugose coral in them…

This one is so strange that I caved and posted it. This is a 1.3 x 1.3 cm piece of stone. The photos show it in a few different angles. It’s just a little, weird ‘thing’
