I dug this up 20 years ago. Some said they believed to be slag glass. Cornell university wanted to send to nm to identify.
What do you think?

These were found less than a mile away from from the Tallahassee capitol building while excavating. They were roughly 25’ below grade at 110’ above sea level cased in lime rock. Came out solid in round ball like shapes, have since dried and began to crack. Found many in one location. Photos are of same rock different angles.
