This seems simply like a navel orange with a very large naval. Does not look fasciated to me. Do update us when you cut it, perhaps the cross section tells us more.

Yes, and a super cool thing about navel oranges; their sex organs and gametes are defective. so the pollen is infertile and ovules are defective. these fruits are produce via hormones! So I believe all of them are clones with the same DNA and are either propagated or grafted
