[LM_NET] OT: rocks from Sicily Island, LA

[Walt & Sharon Koontz <koontzw@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

This is wa-a-a-a-y off topic, but I had a kindergardner bring two oblong shaped 
rocks (about 4 in. long, 3 in. diameter) to the library wondering what they were.  
They looked like rocks, but had small gravel embedded in them, the end of one 
seemed to be broken away... like the husk of black walnuts. I almost think I could 
have made an imprint with my thumbnail... not really hard like a rock.  The kicker 
is, they rattled!!  
  His mother has since told me they found bunches of them on a trip to Sicily 
Island, Louisiana. They were in real soft sandstone, the family dug out a bunch of 
them. Are they some kind of nut? fossils? scat?  would anyone out there be able to 
help me?? I took pictures, but am unable to post attachments.
