My wife found this at Swatara state park last weekend when we took our son for a fossil hunt. We found some bryozoan fenestella and some brachiopods. I will eventually do a trip report but this one I'm not sure if it's a fossil or just an odd rock.

Could it be a cystoid (of less-than-perfect preservation)?

Gosh, that is a tough one to figure out. It could be a concretion but could just as likely be something that was (previously) organic. I'm leaning towards concretion because of what appears to be spheroidal weathering rinds.
