Ponderosa lemons are frequently somewhat misshaped. I believe they are actually a lemon x citron cross.

It's a possibility, Michele. My parents didn't keep the tags and wouldn't
have known their way around lemon varieties when picking them out. The
lemons could be fairly misshapen, which is what led me to think it could be
something attacking at the blossom stage.

Megan,
Is it possible they had a ponderosa lemon tree? These lemons are larger
than normal, and have very thick rinds.
As to the dryness of the fruit, fruits can dry out if they are left too
long
on the tree. Some citrus hold well for a fairly long time, while others
have a short harvest window.
