Egg, Coprolite, or Neat Rock?

Recommended Posts

Found slightly north of Columbia, SC in the middle of the state in a creek. Caught my eye because of the inside, but the outside seems to have some sort of non-natural looking inclusions. If you’re able, zoom in on the exterior to see what I mean.

 

Any help is appreciated! Totally understand this could just be a rock but it seems too odd.

I think its a neat rock, some other member can give you specifics. I don't see any fossil shape or texture which is why im leaning toward rock.

Looks like a rock to me as well.  I've found rocks similar to that before, looks like jasper/chalcedony with quartz crystal clusters to me.  Sometimes they weather oddly and leave strange shapes.  I bet it'll be a beauty cleaned up!

Those botroydal crystals on the interior face are amazing. Haven’t seen this sort of formation in this sort of mineral before. Nice find!
