Solid glass-like egg found in the Blackheath sandy formation outside of London, which was laid down under a shallow coastal sea early in the Eccene Epoch and overlies Paleocene Thanet sands. Found about a foot deep, with various shark teeth and shells surrounding. The egg looks like a normal hen's egg, still with some shell on it, but it's now rock solid - on one of the videos you can hear me tapping it. There's also something showing inside the egg. The shell is definitely natural / real. No idea what this is or how the egg could now be made into some sort of glass like structure - thoughts appreciated! IMG_7805.mov

Is there a sealant or coating you can use to protect a fossil that doesn't involve using acetone? The fossil is a partial oviraptor egg. I want to be careful with it, but I also want to avoid anything that generates toxic fumes, as I live in a small space with a cat.

Howdy all, Seller says these are dinosaur eggshells from the Gobi Desert. Is that true? If they are authentic, the seller also says they are of oviraptor. I took the liberty to compare them to oviraptor eggshells and they didn't match up. I then compared them to some maiasaura shells which have a similar texture and my opinion now is that these are of some sort of ornithopod, possibly a hadrosaur like barsboldia or saurolophus.

Does anyone recognize this as an egg? There are a couple shell fossils on it. I’ve had it for a while and always call it my dinosaur egg as a joke. Then I googled imaged a picture of it and thought it might be. Thanks.

I know most the time what think is an egg isn't but wanted to ask to be sure on this one that I found today. It's from North Carolina. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7

This is embedded in hard calcified sandstone layer of the upper Eutaw fm. I have been collecting from the site for years but have never encountered anything like this. The paleontologists I have shown it to are also stumped. The cell structure is similar to a pelecypod, but this is no bivalve. The shape is reminiscent of an egg but fairly sure it isn't that. The diameter is 12 cm. I know that photos cannot capture all the details. Any guesses?

I need help. I found this in Missouri. I believe it is a coiled up snake in the egg, with shell and egg white preserved. Please help.

This was found near a large caldera north of Taos, NM. It resembles an egg. It was found in an area that has many fossilized bones, etc.

Hello! I bought these from a seller in France. They where both collected in France. The first was a lot of shells, not sold under rhabdodon but that they could be from that species. The second under the name paleolodus. I understand that ID eggshells to specific species is almost impossible. But I can’t find any info on any of the when it comes to findings of egg shells. Do any one know anything? would really like to know:) best regards Emil

Found in my lawn, alone,,sitting atop a patch of grass. Snapping turtles have owned the nearby pond for decades(side note: in size & shape, their shells look like the lid of a 30 gallon trash can- they will stop & turn, take a menacing stance, and seem ready & willing to charge. I back away slowly and respectfully, in case they’ve evolved into speed runners😳). I would like to know how to assess the age of this egg. It seems like a rock- it’s heavy, wasn’t damaged in a 5’ accidental drop to concrete, and thankfully nothing tried to hatch- lol) It’s beautiful

29 million-year-old nest of fossilised grasshopper eggs found
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon posted a topic in Fossil News
The rather amazing discovery of an underground nest of about 50 fossilised eggs of an insect in the grasshopper-lineage (orthoptera) has been discovered in Michell, Oregon, at the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. It's dated to the Oligocene-period, at 29 million years old, and is truly spectacular for its preservation. Insect eggs rarely preserve, and little information exists on the evolution of grasshopper-relatives. So finding a nest full of them is an amazing discovery! CNN-report here, original article here. -

My wife and I found this exploring a local creek bed this weekend in Southern KY. It appears to have a clear shell, but is split in two from all of its years in motion. Any clear direction or identification is appreciated. Thanks
