Concretion or Fossil Egg

Recommended Posts

I found about thirty of these specimens partially eroded out and partially buried approximately 100-200 ft above the Owyhee River in the Upper Great Basin Desert of Eastern Oregon. I would appreciate any identification suggestions.  Thank you

Typical Concretions.
The concentric layers are diagnostic.

Very nice examples! :)

They look similar to the moqui marbles.5a0ec9b82f797c0c8dc696884c1b3a79--utah-usa-minerals.jpg.68c2218a18c5fddcc5864e5b8aa86818.jpg
