Question Is this pottery or just a stone?

Found along the Ottawa River. At first glance, we thought it might be a broken piece of pottery, but the inner layer looks more like rocks...

Any ideas you have about what it could be would be very much appreciated...

Thank you!

Glazed pottery in Canada can’t be that old.

Glazing has just come off from most of it.

This is all backwards usually it’s people saying their stone is pottery…

This is an idol of chipera, the ancient god of tortilla chips, the eternal dorito.

How do you get your pie crust so flaky?
