Hiya everyone. Want some opinions on this egg it’s from an old collection and from a reputable seller in the uk. I know a lot of shell is missing but any help on the legitimacy of the egg would be great. cheers

I found this fossil along the shore of a large river / Lake along a steep bank in a high erosion area in Northwest Montana. Could it be a fossilized egg? Or, Could it be a Coprolite from a carnivore? It looks like little bones and a wormy looking thing. Thank you for your help!

Im sorry to intrude on your topic but im trying to identify my egg found in Shasta County, it's got some baby bones that are slightly opalized inside the egg and the yoke appears to have pseudomorph into nephrite? the inner shell was packed with clay and the outer has been smoothed with water. i was thinking therapod? there seems to be several nests around my dig location but those are more football size and completely silted up inside, also petrified coral everywhere. hope i didn't upset thanks for your skills in advance

This is a clutch of dinosaur eggs from Gangzhou, Jiangxi Province of China. Note the small egg among the dinosaur eggs. Any idea if the small egg is a turtle egg or what? Sorry the images are not very clear as they were captured from a video.

Take a look at this egg, see how beautiful is its internal crystalisation. What is your view on its authenticity?

My grandad found this in central Montana years ago and never knew what it was. It holds very special value to me and I just want help in identifying what it actually is. Seems to be more than a really cool rock. Please help!

Gastornis Eggshell
Othniel C. Marsh posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
The item shown below is supposed to be a fragment of Gastornis eggshell, but the texture of the fragment does not look like that of any other fossil eggshell I have ever seen, avian or otherwise. Thanks in advance for any guidance Othniel -
Stumbled upon this today in north Texas while looking for some interesting Rock pieces. I was a little skeptical on any idea of being that important but the more I've looked into it the more optimistic and intrigued I am. This was found in a semi remote location where there was slight irrigation drainages exposing some top rock I would love your thoughts on if this is real and if so what you would suggest doing. Thank you for your time 20230708_205156.mp4 20230708_204652.heic 20230708_204845.heic

Hey Everyone, First time poster, just joined the forum. I will preface by stating that my fossil prowess is arguably non-existent, however, my quest for knowledge is great. My wife is a self-proclaimed "rockhound" and enjoys filling our home and backyard with any and all treasures found during our excursions. She recently came upon a treasure shown in the attached photos. I don't recall exactly where she found it, but we live in the Fort Worth, TX area and have not traveled too far recently, so it is likely local to North Texas. She is convinced that this is a fossilized dinosaur egg. I am not completely skeptical, as it does bear a striking resemblance to an egg and even appears to have a "shell." I am hoping someone might be able to help us identify if my wife really does have something wonderful here! Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi all New here, motivated by a recent find while walking in Kent, UK. Found this in a field. Is it a fossilized egg? That's my guess but no knowledge in this topic so could be wrong. Would love to know more about this find. It's about 1 inch in diameter and a third of an inch in cross section. Thanks!

Hello fossil lovers! Please accept my apology in advance, but here it comes: is this a fossilized bird/duck egg? It is too round to be a reptile egg and the white part looks like shell. The inside is crystallized. Sadly I can't provide provenance, as I bought this at an antique's shop from a deceased collector (for those who know him, it is from the collection of the writer of Bob Morane)... Doesn't look like just a concretion to me. Thank you for your time, have a good day!

Hi everyone, I was out walking today in Lincoln County, Idaho. While I was walking, I decided to take a look at rocks. All the sudden, I saw this one. I picked it up, and noticed it was EXTREMELY smooth. It is also egg shaped. There is also a small chip in it. It also has a slightly reflective surface, when I put it under a magnifier, some of the light from the magnifier was reflecting off of this rock. You can actually see it in some of the photos. I thought to myself, “Is this a fossil egg?“ To be honest, I am VERY skeptical if it is truly a fossil egg. Regardless, I decided to post anyway and see what you guys think of it. What do you guys think? Jared.

Hello all- im new here but have been following this group for a while now. Hoping you can help me figure out what this HEAVY rock/ fossil is? I found it on my property up here in Northern California. As mentioned above it is very heavy compared to rock that are similar in size. It also has no rough edges. Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Many years ago I found this strange eggshaped stone. Is it a fossil egg? It is quite heavy, rusty brown color egg shape object. The whole "egg" is covered with something like veins. The biggest one goes around vertical. It is circa 6 cm long and 5 in diameter. Thanks for your help

Good afternoon, This egg shaped rock was found on the surface of a reclaimed quarry in Alberta. Any thoughts on what it may be? Considering it was found at a gravel quarry my initial thoughts were that it was a rock that was somehow shaped during excavation and or screening. The colours and the jagged eggshell type patterns have me wondering though...? Apologies for the imperial measurements for scale. For reference the egg is approximately 90 mm (9cm) in length. Thanks for the help.

Hello everyone, I have been looking at a pair of eggs on matrix. I believe they are real and good, they should be 'Oviraptor?' or perhaps another species , perhaps someone can help out. but just to be sure I want to post them here and perhaps get some opinions . They should have a small repair at the eggshell and at one that I have marked there was a crack that is repaired. Thoughts? Nice weekend everyone! f78d4a5feab7439096f0650fbba37ce4.MOV
