Curious find, but I think that's all it is... a curiosity.
The matrix appears to be oolitic limestone. It’s formed from small spheres of calcium carbonate that have been deposited onto sand grains and then water-rolled on an ocean floor before becoming compacted into rock with a lime mud matrix. In this case, it looks like a pebble has become deposited with those sediments and consolidated into the rock. Just going by the appearance, that 'pebble' looks to be a nodule of hematite or something similar.
