denvermichael2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I do have another interesting item I found, could use some help identifying what exactly this is... Was found in missouri in a creekbed, it is about 2 inches long... Appears to be a fossilized nest of eggs, from the cutaway crossection you can clearly see embryos inside the tiny eggs... Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 It looks to be "egg stone" - Oolite 2 " 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.

Kane Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 This may be another geologic specimen, such as a conglomerate or oolite. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peat Burns Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I agree it looks like oolite. I have one just like it (see below) that I've always assumed was oolite, although I've never sectioned the spheres to look for layering, etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 It looks possible that they are silicate replacements of oolithic limestone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
