What do you call a non spherical rocky objects?

There isn't one single, universally accepted term for non-spherical rocky objects. The specific term depends on the object's size, shape, and location. Here are some possibilities:

Based on size and shape:

* Boulder: A large, rounded, or irregularly shaped rock.

* Rock: A general term for any solid, naturally occurring mineral or petrified matter.

* Fragment: A piece of a larger rock that has been broken off.

* Clast: A fragment of rock, especially one that has been transported and deposited by a geological process.

* Irregularly shaped: This is a more descriptive term that can be used for any non-spherical rocky object.

Based on location:

* Asteroid: A rocky body orbiting the Sun, typically found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Many asteroids are irregularly shaped.

* Meteoroid: A small, rocky body in space. Meteoroids can be irregularly shaped.

* Meteorite: A meteoroid that has fallen to Earth. Meteorites can be irregularly shaped, but many are rounded by their passage through the atmosphere.

Other terms:

* Breccia: A rock composed of angular fragments of other rocks.

* Conglomerate: A rock composed of rounded fragments of other rocks.

Ultimately, the best term to use will depend on the specific context and the object's characteristics.
