Forum, I am doing a Nile River trip. Has anyone did any fossil shopping in Cairo or Aswan. From other posts it might be dicey. I was just wondering if anything showed up in the markets? Anyone have any personal experience to share?

During a trip to Egypt I found this potential fossil near the city of Aswan between the banks of the Nile River and Sahara Desert. I had thought it might have been a meteor and the sand fused around the meteor due to the Intense heat. But, I tested it with a magnet but there was absolutely no attraction. Therefore, I thought it might be a fossil given that I read about many fossils being discovered in the Sahara and the composition does appear to be any rock or stone that I've ever encountered. I assumed crocodile due to the spiky and bumpy texture, along with the historic prevalence of crocodiles in that region. What do you think this is? Thanks!
