A water-tumbled stone.

 

Typically, fossilized eggs have egg texture that is distinct. In this case, the banding and lack of cracks point to it being weathered stone.

Where it was found is also the reason for its shape. Rivers naturally tumble stones into rounded shapes.

100% rock, but definitely one I would keep.
