Kane Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Neat looking piece. Perhaps a septarian concretion? 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were an actual dino egg, they wouldn't be joking around with the ID. I'm pitching my tent in the Septerian nodule camp also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippa Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Not an egg. Very cool rock though. Just think about it: even if it had been a dinosaur egg, it's not as if you could have enjoyed it sunny side up. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Nice looking ironstone and limonite septarian concretion, I think. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my eggs in many different ways depending on my mood, but in this case I like them just the way they are. What a very interesting concretion! I would have jumped on it immediately. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
