Is this a dinosaur egg?

I am thinking it is not, but as a reference here are some helpful guides on the forum to assist in determining when it is or is not a dinosaur egg:

Also, when posting a specimen for identification, do include a ruler or tape measure for scale, and try to ensure the photos are clear and taken in sufficient lighting.

Hi, i agree with what was said by Kane and Don.

Can you explain us where in Oregon did you find it ? A more accurate localisation (County, formation, though not the exact site) is very important for an identification.

It looks like quartz and chalcedony that filled a vesicle in a volcanic rock such as basalt; very common in Oregon. The craters are where later deposited quartz/chalcedony formed against a botryoidal mineral that lined the cavity.
