Matt41 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I know virtually nothing about dinosaur eggs so bare with me. I figured this would be a good place to go to ask about an egg that I was told was an from a dinosaur. It was found in Eastern Montana by a family member. The exact location is unknown but it was in the vicinity of Glasgow, MT. Any insight would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbi Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 It's concretion. The "shell" would be way too thick for the dinosaur embryo to break through. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 That's a sweet concretion. I have several similar specimens in my collection. You may want to check out those two spots in the middle under 10-20x magnification. Concretions often form around an organic core. 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...
