Thinking this might be man made mortar? Thoughts?
Found at Kennekuk County Park, Danville IL. Vermilion County. There is an old mound site along the river about 2 miles from the creek where we found this.

If you found it in a park and it is an artifact it may be illegal for you to take it.

I didn't take it. I just moved it to a secure location and if it ia real I will bring it to the visitors building.

Thank you. Lol I forgot to add to my original post. Does this look like a man made mortar lol

It's certainly a worked stone, provenance will be difficult but not impossible.

In the first picture that looks like a piece of limestone.
Water does weird stuff to limestone.
Where are you seeing that it was worked?

looks like a pocket where a concretion was formed.

Now that"s a different question.

Could be.

I have to agree on closer it looks like natural formation after looking at it zoomed.
