I found this in the Lehigh river in Lehighton, PA while kayaking this summer. Im not sure what it is or if its possible to be a dinosaur egg. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Welcome to the Forum.  :)

 

Unfortunately, this is not an Egg of any kind.

This is a geologic oddity called a concretion.

 

The "rind" of this item is much too thick to be eggshell. It also lacks the typical texture of any kind of egg shell.

 

Have a look through this topic.

 

It was written by a paleontologist who actually studies fossil eggs:

No eggshell texture and the shell would be too thick for the baby to break out! Not an even thickness either. 

This is a concretion.
