i agree with Janet- looks like a failed egg- could be from a duck

It looks like some type of soft shelled egg. Perhaps from a turtle or a snake. Given the size, and the fact that it looks misshapen it also could be an unviable egg aborted by a bird larger than song bird. A lot of guessing on my part! Am I even close? Very curious.
