    Dino fetus

    Found this round rock amongst other fossil rocks, but it was so round that it stood out to me. I was hoping to cut it open and find it was a geode. At first I made one small cut and could see that the inside was chalk-like, so I tossed it to the side and wasnt going to bother with it anymore. But I noticed the very center was a different color. It looked pink, so I knocked out one quarter of the thick outer layer of that chalky stuff, and then some more, and this is what was inside. Does anybody else think this could be an egg with a baby dinosaur inside?

    Dino Egg or Concretion?

    I have received conflicting responses from numerous geologists on my find. Even had one geologist remark that my find was a fake, which I can assure is not. Found in dry riverbed off mountain road in Portola Valley, California. Any advice or suggestions on identification is truly appreciated.
  3. I examined this item for a clue for its gem like appearance. After a few minutes I determined the oblong shape was made of Agatized material. On the top portion the agate was easily identified. Turning the rock upside down the agate can be seen again. What was left of the exterior is smooth with an occasional outcrop of black rock. A google picture search first gave me a hint of the possible origin. A dinosaur egg whose shell was cracked allowed the flow of mineral rich water to fill the egg and form the inner layer. Most of the outer shell is missing but I have included a few close ups to further my theory

    Dino Egg?

    My husband found this "egg" in a creek bank, in the Pacific Northwest of Washington State. It probably weighs a little bit more than a regular chicken egg, but not much. Seems light for its size. Thank you all in advance! Love this site!! I set it in a tiny tea cup to get good pics of the "ends" of the "egg".
  5. Found what we thought was a cool potato-looking rock. When my son dropped it, it broke open to reveal a soft, crumbly interior encapsulated by harder rock! What the h*** did we find? Approximately 6"x3" Weighs </= 1 pound

    Egg or concretion?

    I joined today just to figure out what I’ve found out back today. Found in Johnson County Missouri. Does also seem to be hollow as I can hear something shaking around inside. Is about 3” in diameter. Would greatly appreciate your thoughts!! Thank you all!
  7. Good morning, I hope this is interesting. I found what I suspect is the fossil of a reptile or dinosaur that was torn open and then mummified prior to fossilization. Knowing the odds of this are vanishingly small, I will let the photos speak for themselves. I see soft tissue structures that align with reptilian anatomy but your mileage may vary. This was found in Grayson county Texas just south of Lake Texarkana. Multiple rock groups are exposed in a small area here, including Denton Clay, Weno Limestone, & Grayson Marl, all of which are from the Cretaceous. Thanks in advance for any and all responses. Kenna PS: Some of you have posted some remarkable material for new members - guides to eggs, teeth, and how to post ID requests - amazing stuff. It is appreciated!

    Fossilized egg?

    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!
  9. I was working today in the Costwolds and came across this sticking out the side if a stram bank. Lots of other stuff nearby an amonite and lots of shells etc. I have no idea what it is, any ideas?

    Possible egg and rib cage discovery??

    Found in south Wales on a mud flat at low tide. I’ve tried to clean as best I can. Any input would be amazing, please! I believe it to be an egg or 2 and a rib cage, or tubular crustacean formation, but I’m a total newbie, thanks!!

    Is this an egg?

    Sorry I know im not supposed to use my hands!, however im traveling and this will have to do! It was whole when I found it. It appeared as tho it was splitting in half so I just completed it. The inclusions or valleys you see where made by me gently taking a hand tool, scooping the areas clean on the the parts that would fall away with ease.

    Help with identification

    I found this on my 1800’s run down farm we purchased 2 years ago. My mother in law saw it and said it was a petrified egg. I picked it up because I thought it was cool but had no idea it could have been a fossil. any help identifying would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.

    Strange looking formation?

    I was interested in any insight on what this might be, found around Cape Girardeau Missouri. Thanks in advance!
  15. Hi everybody, I'm hoping you can provide help in identifying the following object. I am a complete amateur, but have been wondering about this specific rock for a long time. I tried to make clear pictures, some on centimeter paper. Short story about the object: my mother has lived in South Portugal for a long time, near a river that usually runs dry in the summer. Over the years she and I collected numerous beautifull stones there, usually no fossils. The area knows some places (higher up in the mountains) that are fossil rich, but those do not resemble this specific one. At one time I saw this 'stone' in the collection and asked my mother about it. She could only say "I think I found it in the river a while ago", but she wasn't totally sure. I was - and still am - mesmerized by it, and asked if she would be ok if I kept it at my place. That was ok, as long as I promised never to break it open :-) That was about 10 years ago. I have always been wondering if it could be a dinosaur egg, but every time I started strolling the internet I found information that indicated it probably wasn't. Most indicative (I think) is that the outside doesn't resemble the usual egg shells, and is way too much intact/smooth (apart from the big hole). Also, especially the bottom side of the surface rather appears to have been 'moldable' at some point, rather than a a hard breakable shell. Yet, it is egg shaped and it is pretty clear that it has interesting fossilized structures inside. Every now and then I pick it up to have a look at different angles, and I can't help but wondering what those structures are and what is further inside.. I read somewhere that calculi are sometimes mistaken for dinosaur eggs, but I have no idea if this could be it. So, please have a go at this, ask me for any other pictures or other information if necessary and help me unravel this little mistery (well, for me it is). Thanks in advance!

    Is this an egg?

    Hi everyone, First, thank you very much for your help in identifying fossils! I just discovered this resource, and am grateful it exists. I found this unknown piece in a collections storage closet in the museum I work for. It was mixed in with other fossils and geology samples. Unfortunately, it was unlabeled, and so I do not know where or even when it was found. Again, thank you for your help, and I apologize for not having more information about the piece. If you need any other pictures, I would be happy to take them.
  19. I'd love some help identifying this fossil! The eggs(?) we found in the same area and depth. My current guess is that it's a fossilized turtle carapace?
  20. Hello! I'm new to the forum- this is my first post. Apologies if I make any mistakes here! My mother has had this dinosaur egg(?) in her possession ever since she was a child- it was gifted to her by her father after he had found it at the side of the road while driving. I'm not sure where specifically it's from or even if it's biological in nature at all. ....Now, I've wanted to finally conclude if this is truly a dinosaur egg (or egg of any other organism) or an interesting geologic formation. Dinosaur or not, it's a beloved object and I'd like to find out it's true identity! The whole thing is approximately 7cm long, 5.5-6cm wide, and the yolk(?) is approximately 4cm in diameter.
  21. I thought everyone in the Fossil ID forum would get a kick out of this one.

    Help figuring out what this is

    I found this at the bottom of a dry river in the woods in Tennessee. Anybody have any idea what this could be?
  23. I found this along the central Oregon Coast. I was so curious about what it looked like inside, so I cut it in half. I was thinking maybe some type of reptile or amphibian egg. It looks like something seeped into the "Egg" rock that created the black discoloration on the edges and some interior parts. Any idea on what this might be would be greatly appreciated.
