Hammerstone?

Feel like context is essential to recognizing these types of rough pieces. I'd lay twenty-to-one that it is, in fact, a hammer-stone or similar artifact. Nature would have a hard time breaking it so conveniently, but one may never notice it, or think it so, without it having been discovered on site.
It's big for a hammer but may have been used with direct or indirect percussion on hardstone. Probably too big to be used for flaking except maybe for spalling something big.California
