Rockwood Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Sorry but it isn't an egg. It lacks the distinctive texture of egg shell There is a similarity, but I'm afraid this is just the result of weathering of the rock. I keep forgetting to zoom in on these. That texture is quite close. I still think the orientation is off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I think it is a septarian nodule. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Thanks for all the responses. I know nothing about this subject. It is about 7 inches by six inches but one side looks like it was flattened somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Now that I see that the inside is exposed, it is not a septarian nodule which is a nodule with mineralization on the inside and fills in the cracks. But it is still a nodule or concretion of some sort. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Still don't think it is but less than completely certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Harvey Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I think it is a caliche encrusted rock. I use to live in Arizona and saw many of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Hi Marcia, welcome to the forum! i think it's geological I'm afraid. Certainly more images from different are always good to help with identification along with a ruler of some sort.

Marcia Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Sorry to be so slow. Here are more pics. Thank you all so much for your time! This one shows the broken end protruding out and the very end is flat like it was pressed up against something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 I will send more as soon as I can figure out how to make each one smaller than 3.95 MB because it says they're all too big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
