Please post in focus pictures of all sides, videos are not really good for looking at possible stone artifacts, you can't blow them up to look for signs of being worked.

From video I'm not seeing any signs of being worked by man, but can't really exam it in video, plus some members will not download video to view.

I agree, it looks natural.
To me it looks like a sedimentary stone, where a layer had eroded out, leaving the depression.
So the only thing that makes me question it is if you were to cut s small bowl in half the photo 5 shows a perfectly flat bottom and photos 3 and 4 show basically a bowl shape again so sorry my photos didn’t do it justice but there is literal almost lines on the outside nearly like rings. In person it looks like some strange miniature bowl that was cut in half.

My impression is that this was a rounded cobble. Minerals were leached out of its outside area, changing the color. There is a dark boundary where the leachate is concentrated and then the brown center area which has not been leached. The cobble was then cracked open, revealing a cross section which revealed the leaching process results.
