Michele Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I found this on my 1800’s run down farm we purchased 2 years ago. My mother in law saw it and said it was a petrified egg. I picked it up because I thought it was cool but had no idea it could have been a fossil. any help identifying would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.

Rockwood Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Sorry. This is not a petrified egg. It could have been used as an artificial egg though. Farmers used them as a way of establishing a nesting behavior. It could also be just a water/glacier rounded pebble. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravel can have fossils in it, but there are many good spots to collect fossils in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
