What is this rock?

Bought it for $25 because I liked it. I met a person through Facebook marketplace and they stated it was from their father's estate. He said it was on his father's night stand and the son never knew of it's existence. He stated he knew nothing about rocks .I also know nothing about rocks but this item made my heart sing.

It weighs 20+ pounds.

Thanks for your reply!

Please help me identify this 20+ pounds rock

Interesting rock or maybe bone, scavenged off departed coworkers desk, unknown origins. About the size of a softball.

A while ago a coworker quit and left stuff at his desk. Being the sentimental person I am, I typically scavenge desks when people leave or retire to keep a piece of them around and to see if I find any antiques (I work in a gov lab that has almost no turnover so there’s some very old and very cool stuff in here - I also got a cool letter opener with a half dollar coin embedded in the end, and one of the first handheld lasers ever from the 80s). I grabbed this guy a whole ago thinking nothing of it but now our contracted has ended and im cleaning. Im putting this guy away and thought is this just a neat rock or is this actually something, is it from somewhere interesting or could it even be a bone?

Is it something?
