Elizadan Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Hello, I found this in my backyard and was really studying it the other day when I noticed these "claw" looking formations on the stone. I realized after some time the formations weren't claws but "wet" feathers. Then I found the head on the bird and noticed one of its legs and a webbed foot up over it's head. On the other side is the yellow substance that I think is the yolk of the egg, either cracked and running out or is still "inside". The first picture is the head of the baby bird maybe a duckling, with it's leg and foot up over it's head. The second picture is the backside of the egg with the yolk. Can anyone tell me more about this strange rock? Is it an actual fossil or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Sorry, no ducks or eggs here. Only a metamorphic pebble. Not a fossil at all. 1 6 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
