Jaded vision Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I found this at Hampton butte this summer and wonder if it could be some type of fossilized eggs attached to petrified wood, it differs from most botryoidal agate I've seen in that there is such a defined line between the agate and the wood also there are impressions where these round things either fell out or didn't turn to stone. The fact that it's attached to a fossil has me curious if they may also be fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Definitely need larger images. If you know please include the age of the strata it was found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded vision Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hampton butte is in central eastern Oregon it's a public rock collecting area mostly petrified wood and a little bit of agate and jasper. I'll try to post some bigger pics but I need to take some time to figure out how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
