OzarkMountain_FossilHunter Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I was just wondering if anyone knew exactly what this was. Is it a petrified egg? or just a rock shaped like an egg. This isn't mine, it belongs to a friend who has wondered what it was for a very long time. I told her about this forum and she asked if I would post some pics and maybe try to get an answer to her question. Here are some pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artofextinction Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 It kinda resembles a shiva stone from India, but not quite the right color. Do you know where/when it was found? Andre LuJan ArtofExtinction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I am not sure, but there appears to be a bit of chert protruding on it (pictures 1 and 3), so that would make it a chert nodule and not a fossil egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 No sign of shell texture on it; my guess is that it is a very pretty nodule (and a nice conversation piece).

Guest solius symbiosus Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 like N Al hunter wrote, it is a chert nodule. The well roundedness if it suggests that it was found in a stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
