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:

This object came with the whale bone I posted about recently. I'm not sure if it's biological or geological so I figured I'd throw it into the room & see what happens. 8.5 cm long x 4.5 cm wide x 8 mm thick (roughly). Flat with a slight curve. This was the shape when found. I sanded the broken part for better internal views. Pics labeled 4, 5 & 6 are closeups. 4 being the break running from side to side, 5 being the break running lengthwise & 6 a closeup of the outside surface.

While travelling in British columbia I picked up a couple of fossils, one has something like a fish or strange leaf on it with tiny little oval shapes and shells. Whatever was the focal point of thus fossil appears to have been damaged. I am very interested in what the small oval shapes are as there are many of them and they are on both sides and visible in the cross-section of the stone. If I wet the ovals I may be able to get a better contrast picture. The other is possibly a fossilized sea sponge. Although there is no surrounding stone, The Pink piece seems way too heavy for it

Can anyone ID this fossil by chance? I found it near the town of Llano, TX. It has several concentric rings, but no apparent radial lines. I'm admittedly a bit of a novice, so thank you in advance.
