Will you guess what it is? This thing costs $60,000.

 

This chunk that looks like yellowish rock is ambergris – a polite term for solidified sperm whale vomit. The substance is sought after with perfume makers as it helps to prolong the scent of the perfume. A schoolboy from UK has found the extraordinary large 600 gram piece of ambergris, which is worth about $60,000.

Who said that?
He probably picked it up because it's weird and gross looking.
Parents could have googled it when he brought it home...

Key term being "solidified sperm whale vomit" probably googled for fossils or rock types.
