daniel17 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Hello guys, I was rock climbing and hiking this last weekend and found this egg. It was partially buried. What caught my attention was the shape and weight. It looks very very light for a normal rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Concretion, I'm afraid. No egg shell texture at all. 4 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Yup. Concretion, not an egg.

Troodon Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I agree with the others but dinosaur eggs, mostly eggshells are found in the coastal areas around Lourinhã. https://www.academia.edu/4093942/Two_new_theropod_egg_sites_from_the_Late_Jurassic_Lourinhã_Formation_Portugal From my collection 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel17 Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 It was found 20km away from Lourinhã. Regarding the concretion, I found a total of 3 in the same meter square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello,daniel17. just to tell you that from my own experience, I have found concretions, hollow, with a heavier, lighter interior material, and completely formed by the same material, also found both isolated and together in very little space.
