I found at least 20 or 25 of these over a period of 7 or 8 years. Found in the bend in a creek and each year, after spring rains there would be 3 or 4 more exposed. If you break them open, the center is yellowish colored and easily comes out of the egg. I was 8 years old when I first found one, and jokingly called them dinosaur eggs, but as I found more and got older, I realized they probably were real dinosaur eggs, so most of those 25 or so were broken open or given away. I've only got two unopened now and one that I broke open left. You can clearly see parts of the shell, on the bottom and the top right side. Unfortunately, my three YO granddaughter peeled a fair amount of shell off.

Recently, a clutch of subspherical dinosaur eggs was discovered while blasting for a construction project in the Upper Cretaceous red beds (Hekou Formation) of the Ganzhou Basin, Jiangxi Province, China. At least two of the eggs contain identifiable hadrosauroid embryos, described here for the first time https://bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12862-022-02012-x
