What does it smell like? It looks a lot like Basalt.

Is it coal? Or coal tar? You didn't give us much info, as to where you found it. Looks like it was in a river bed. Is it soft, hard, can you chip it with a hammer? It has an amorphous form, no layers, more like a gob of something. You already know what it is, and you're just messing with us?
