Found on the ground in the forest near Sumaco National Park, Ecuador. Probably fell unripe, as it was hard and there were no other fruits like this on the ground in the area. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Looks rather like a calabash.

Is it not like a maracuya (passion fruit) or grenadilla? You’re right it looks unripe

Maracuya has a different leaf, and the fruit is typically not as big, but I'll grant you it looks similar and the leaf could be of an unusual shape

Normally the leaf shape is hallmark of the plant, but there are other leaves. I’d be willing to bet it’s at least in the passiflora family. https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/839f5482-4757-44e2-8bd3-1550368f652c.webp
