Fossildude19 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Not an egg. Looks like agate or chert, to me. 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM - APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Rockwood Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Agreed. (Yay there's a thumb for that now)The would be shell, appears to me a much thicker and more durable material than would be expected to be seen on an egg this size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacTheFossilMan Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Mineral, unfortunately. Fossil eggs are incredibly rare. ~ Isaac; www.isaactfm.com "Don't move!

LabRatKing Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Fun specimen to add to the pseudofossil file. I have a similar sized hunk of granite I use to mess with undergrads all the time. <places chicken egg and granite cobble on bench> ”which is a dinosaur egg?” they always pick the granite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
