Lucky Pete Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Greetings Fossil Forum members..I am looking for a positive Identification on this specimen, which was found on private property in New Mexico, near the town of Edgewood..Appears to be cast/mold of the contents inside an embryonic egg...I have circled in red highlighter what I believe to be the enlongated, oversized head of this unidentified creature, thought (by me) to be the unborn offspring of an unidentified type of smaller sized plant eating dinosaur, or Sauropod...

There is no bilateral symmetry, there is no skull or bone morphology, nor is there any bone texture. As stated previously by LordTrilobite, embryo fossils are exceedingly rare. When found they look like this: 8 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
