I don't know what this fallen nut is. Not shellbark, not walnut, I'm pretty sure. Probably not edible. But boy, what a fragrance! Very spicy, a mixture of lime and evergreen. That doesn't begin to do it justice.

About Me
- Dan Allen
- Blue Bell Hill, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
- Dan Allen lives in Philadelphia's Blue Bell Hill neighborhood. He eats a lot of cheese, drinks a lot of beer, and thinks that you should too. He also loves to write and talk about these and other things pertaining to good food and drink. As much as possible, he follows a locavore life style, meaning that most of what he eats, drinks, and writes about is local to Philadelphia and environs. (By the way, he tends to go on and on about all this, so unless you have a lot of time on your hands, it's best that you not get him started.)

I would have guessed walnut. And I guess I would be wrong. You could whack it with a hammer and see if that walnut shell is inside.
I would have guessed the same as Abraham. It looks like a walnut to me, although an oddly shaped walnut!
Black Walnut. It has the same distinct aroma as you described.
