Hello, Fellow Fossil Enthusiasts! I'm hoping that someone here might be able to help me in identifying these fossils, because I have hundreds of them in various stages of development, and in all of my research I have yet to find anything that remotely resembles what I've got!

I look forward to what new information might come my way! Scott

So I have found fossils in the Nebraska that are definitely embryos the shell layer is now silver ash I have sent it to the university of Nebraska to be tested. I have found what I think are raptor skulls or some type of gator. I find tons of snake heads. It looks like they were flash burned. Some look like lava or hot molten ash hit them. So I think also when people say they can see skin they mean the impression of the skin. I have many of those and they are not concretions. I have concretions I picked up from my acreage that was deposited from the glaciers. Check out the Ash fall fossils i

CBchiefski posted a topic in Fossil ID
The Basic Dinosaur Egg Guide Many people often mistake a concretion for an egg, to help clarify what is a concretion, and what is a real egg, here is a guide. A quick overview with examples: How to spot a concretion: How are they different from eggs? A concretion is a rather common rock made of tightly compressed minerals. Typically, concretions are a smooth sphere or oval with little to no surface texture or just a few bumps. Often nearly a perfect sphere, sometimes more of an oval. In a concretion, there- 14 replies

The Advanced Dinosaur Egg Guide Please share this with those who have egg questions. When possible, technical terms were avoided or defined. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but it is always important to do your own research. This guide is merely a snapshot of information taken from many scientific publications. I am not an expert on eggs, rather I just love sharing what little I have learned over the years, what science has learned over the years. For an overview on how to spot a fossilized dinosaur egg and the sizes of eggs, see the basic guide:
