Looking for help to identify possible Egg?

[Amy]

Can anyone provide any input about this fossil. Appears to be some kind of egg, the size of a standard business card. Found by the south east coast of NC.

Welcome to The Forum, Amy. 

 

It appears to be a suggestively shaped, water worn cobble.

I agree with JohnJ.

 

While the general shape looks a bit like that of an egg. It seems to lack the structures and details that one would expect from an egg. It's probably just a suggestively shaped rock.

Might it be a phosphorite concretion?

Finally!  A rock that actually kinda looks like an egg.  With every tom dick and harry posting their round rocks and thinking they are eggs, its actually refreshing when one finally does look a bit like an egg.

A tooth

 

[Plax]

could be a phosphatized pebble or a phosphatic concretion. They look very similar on the outside but a phosphatized pebble will be a quartz pebble (for instance) on the inside and a phosphatic pebble will be black or gray through and through. Both of these form in lag deposits where you can also find concentrations of teeth. It may have a fossil inclusion.

Welcome to the Forum.  

Just curious as to what about this makes it look like a tooth to you?

 

I don't see any enamel, or evidence of root structure, that might indicate a tooth.  

Also, the post is over a year old, and the OP hasn't visited since then.
