    What is this?

    I have owned this since I was a little boy.
    I know what it is- do you?
    It's roughly the size of a football.

    beats me.

    If it was stuck on the wall I'd say a swallow's nest, or a buncha bees that I don't want to fool with.

    It in some ways looks like it has been exposed to trickling water for a very long time. Did you go caving?

    It looks like chert to me. I've found dozens of arrow heads made from it.
