FranzBernhard Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Not eggs, these look more like some sort of concretions to me. No egg shell, no consistent shape and size. Franz Bernhard 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Concretion forms by migration of soluble (mobile) material within sediments. Typically a small percentage of these will have formed around a fossil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john h dalton Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Well I found what was supposed to be petrified eggs on the internet and what I have looks almost identical to some I seen. When I shine a black light on them the inside shine light pink where the surroundings are dark purple. Dont know what that means but does seem odd. I've tried to take a picture and video but it comes out all the same color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Enough people here have given you their opinion. If you still want to know for sure, then take them to your nearest paleontologist for a hands-on assessment. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Fin Lover Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 The post above will help more than Google will. Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

Characteristic of septarian concretions, here's an image I found that shows one under UV light. 1 “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor. It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
