Rob_wr Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Hello, This bright white fossil found on the BC coast seems to check the boxes for ‘real’ egg. Incl. Evidence of chipped shell. Can anyone verify? Thanks very much. We are a family of enthusiasts for rock and fossil collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 This looks like the others said - a metamorphic rock with mineral veins. Fossil eggs are rare, but egg shaped rocks are innumerable. 1 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

RJB Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 There are a million billion trillion X10 round rocks on earth. Only .00000000000000001 % are eggs. Who makes this stuff up? RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thought for sure the little pieces of shell missing (as in top photo) meant ‘for sure’ it was an egg. We have about a dozen or so ‘rocks’?including a number of coprolite and bone. To request help with ID is it best to post each item separately in its own topic? thanks again everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
