Hello, 

 

I found this at Kalavasos formations (late Miocene 5-10 million years) 

(even though not so known, pygmy elephants,hippos and other mammals were found at this area as well) 

I don't know what to make of it.. there is a couple of holes at its bottom side.. I am being tempted to crack it open, if it opens, but I don't know how. 

p.s. it is 30cm diameter, circular shaped with a max height of 12cm in the center.

Thanks

It looks like a weathered/karst piece of limestone. Not sure you will achieve much by cracking it open on the other hand there's no reason not to...

I agree, it looks like a limestone concretion, maybe could you find some shells in it.
