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 -
Now that we know it wasn't Gastornis, where does that leave the top predator niche in the area?

Hello, For Easter' Monday I decided to hunt eggs, not in chocolate but in stone ! I got a nice spring weather in a beautiful landscape: In these marls dated from Eocene, we can find eggshells of Gastornis (giant bird https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastornis ) on the ground, here together with a gastrolithe: And a picture of a rare collapsed egg in the rock. It was so fragile that I could only take the shells without the matrix. A picture of the clean shells will come soon !
