That definitely describes the ones I find.

I've checked a few for fossils, but came up with nothing. I find them scattered around, but If only I could remember now where I find them in abundance. I think it was a quarry.

I find round rocks that look just like that a lot...with the outside layer "peeling" away, but I don't think they're fossils.
They're almost like geodes without the crystal. I don't know how they're formed, maybe something concreted inside.
It would be nice to know.
Perhaps this thread belongs in Earth sciences.
Good point. I'll pm Faithfree.
If you find out, let us know.
Faithfree has also suggested it's a concretion.
If the human brain was simple enough for us to understand, we would be too simple to understand it.
