Fossildude19 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Looks like a geologic formation called a Concretion, to me. I see no eggshell texture to make me think it's an egg.

Kane Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Topic moved to Fossil ID, added more information on thread title. As stated earlier, do provide location information and size as these are key diagnostic details to assist in fossil identification. In this case, I am in agreement that this seems to be a concretion. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 This is not an egg, sorry. Looks geological to me. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I would like to compare it with the "orange concretion" from A. Seilacher. 2001. Concretion morphologies reflecting diagenetic and epigenetic pathways. Sedimentary Geology 143: 41-57. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Miocene_Mason Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I of course agree with concretions as well. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Yeah, not an egg. I agree that it looks like a concretion. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
