JaneDaisyCat Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hi all! I'm glad to find this forum! I've had this rock since I was little --I always thought it was bitten by a dinosaur, so I was just wondering if anybody might be able to tell if it's just a rock? Thanks!

Fossildude19 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Welcome to the Forum. Unfortunately, it's a rock, and not an egg. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

JaneDaisyCat Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 A rock! Wow! Haha, ok, I love rocks...thanks so much. But it really looks like teeth marks in the side!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seguidora-de-Isis Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Welcome to the Forum my friend JaneDaisyCat. And, please, accept hugs here from Argentina! It really is not an egg because it does not contain shells and all the morphology that can be identifiable from an egg. Unfortunately it is only an ordinary rock, probably of volcanic origin. So that you can compare and see the big difference, I leave as an example for you, two authentic dinosaur eggs that are deposited in my private collection: 3 Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question!

SailingAlongToo Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 @Seguidora-de-Isis Who knows, a little of @Troodon's glue and Moroccan sand, and this too could be a VERY nice dino egg! Probably get $15k for it at 2019 Tuscon Show!! Sorry, couldn't help it! 2 Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about science books.........

JaneDaisyCat Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Wow! Those are amAzing! I see what you mean -- lol -- I guess I kinda didn't realize the shell would be so fossilized differently (d'oh!). Thanks for the welcome and hugs to Argentina from NYC!! I *love* your name-- I wrote a surreal novel about how Isis is still in the center of the time spiral.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginkgojerry Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Yup, to quote Charlie Brown on Halloween, .... "I got a rock"....!!! btw, you should say where you found it? If you found it in the middle of a big dinosaur fossil then, you know what Daisy Cat? Sometimes ordinary rocks are a type of dinosaur fossil if they came from the tummy of a dinosaur. True story... they are sometimes found with the dinosaur. hey, ..., maybe those really are tooth marks .... (kidding) I know it's very slim hope but, smile ..... Andd.. I don't want to get caught by some members 'trick experiment' ... heheheeee that happens too ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "tooth" marks are where a "softer" mineral/crystal had formed in the metamorphic quartzite Once it was exposed to the forces of nature (weather and stream) the softer material wore away leaving the depressions.

Oh wow cool -- that makes sense... so it's just random and it came out looking like teeth marks to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
