I haven't seen this fruit/seed before. It measures 1 inch by half inch. it had its' own stem. The actual plant was about a foot tall with a straight "trunk" and leaves at the top. This plant is growing at the side of a road. There is a backround plant behind the fruit which has nothing to do with the spotting

They called Green Brinjal a commercial crop. Their fruits are in various size.
I agree with Ashish.... Notice the superior ovary
Nightshade... Solanaceae family herb.
The fruit looks like a watermelon!
