Need help with identification

I found this cool looking lady recently on my property which is located in the border of Denton and Wise counties in Texas. The formation is the Cretaceous Duck Creek Formation: Mortoniceras and Eopachydiscus. What raised my eyebrows about this piece were a few things. On one end of the rock it has several, somewhat uniform, divots reminiscent of that of a golf ball. They are very prominent and looked very odd to me. Secondly was in, and around the whole on either side appears to be agatized  material. Further more in those same areas is an agatized “tube” that is perfectly cylindrical. Any idea what, if anything besides a cool rock, this could be?

Looks like eroded water worn limestone, to me.  :unsure: 

Wait for some other opinions, however.
