Dougalex Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Ok so I'm just asking if I have a rock or something else, and should I cut it open or leave it whole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougalex Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 I also have this one, but it's probably just a rock.voth of these were found in northern California, USA. I live about an hour south of the Lassen national volcanic park. It's safe to say that we are in a large geothermal region. Thanks again for anything you can help me with. Have a great day.

Top Trilo Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) None of them are eggs, search images of dinosaur eggs and you will be able to see the large difference, the eggshell and then the overall shape don't match up but keep looking fossils are everywhere Edited March 27, 2021 by Top Trilo 3 “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor.

Sjfriend Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Having lived in the Sacramento area many years I can safely say the are no deposits near Lassen that would hold dino eggs. The Sierra's are mostly just a giant spine of granite and other igneous rocks covered by large blanket of metamorphic rocks. Neither of which tend to have fossils. There are always exceptions of course but there is not mush fossil stuff in the hills to the east of the valley. And those that I know are all plant based fossils in the lower foothills much younger then dino age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 This post just got me to thinkin. Are there any dino fossils at all in California? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not heard of any but I never did any hard research. I would assume they'd have to come from the southeast part as the northern and coastal areas are wrong ages and rock types. Think I'll go do a little googling and see what I can quickly find 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A webpage from UC Berkeley stating why there is a dearth of dinosaur fossils from California. Main take away is what terrestrial deposits there were have eroded away and the state was mostly under ocean at the time. https://ucmp.berkeley.edu/mesozoic/cretaceous/ptloma.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
