Hello!
I have never seen this type of fruit before. I was walking in the Shandon neighborhood of Columbia, SC when the youngsters I was with pointed out this strange fruit on the ground. Unfortunately I did not take a picture of the tree but you could tell it was an old tree about 10' high.
I'm attaching pictures of it whole first open and deeper opening of fruit.
