I was guessing some sort of accreation but when a friend dropped it I became confused. Any help greatly appreciated.

Found on friends property in the foothills of Denver, CO. USA near the Fossil Trace GG (yes they actually have fossils imbedded in cliffs and other features on the golf course.)

 

P.S. I ordered a centimeter graph pad and hopefully this will be last "improper" post

I'm afraid this is going to be found to be a concretion. It is a common mistake however. Layered concretion can appear to look like a nut or fruit.

This is indeed a concretion.

Very interesting concretion. Some form around organic matter. It may reveal a fossil if split open, or maybe not. Concretions are plentiful, so it's worth a shot. Wear safety glasses.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

I'd be surprised if a layered concretion like this held a fossil, but it probably wouldn't hurt. Well flying debris can sting. :)
