Selsaro Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I found this years ago, and I just pulled this out of my closet... Any ideas on whether this is a coincidence or actually a Dino egg? And what type?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Welcome to the forum. The images are a bit blurry to make out detail, and there is nothing to indicate its size, but I would hazard to say it is a concretion and not an egg. Perhaps say more about where it was found. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take some nicer pictures later Also I found them in a pile of rocks that I put around a garden, found them with a petoskey stone and some coral fossils in Michigan.

Troodon Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Welcome to forum...ditto what Kane expressed. With the locality it's not a dino egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indominus rex Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Welcome to TFF, I am sorry but I have to agree with Kane, doesn't look like a dino egg. 1 Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatFossilBoy Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Welcome, I agree with @indominus rex. There is a small chance of it being an egg, if it was you would be very lucky. Location,information and pictures is crucial to identify this piece. Try looking up on the Internet if Dino eggs have been found at your location in the past.

And if you are finding Petoskey stones, it strongly suggests that your area has Paleozoic rocks on offer. Much older sediments than dinosaurs, but no less interesting for fossils. Here is a simplified geological bedrock map of Michigan: You may also be interested in perusing some of the interesting finds made in the Michigan basin via Friends of the UMMP, which is a fantastic resource for visual identification: http://michiganbasinfossils.org/ 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Definitely is not a dino egg. Petoskey stone is petrified coral, and is glacier transported Paleozoic material.

Ludwigia Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Once you get your photos focussed we can say for sure, but I'm inclined to say at this point that this is not a dino egg for the reasons already stated above.

Selsaro Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks for all the comments guys! I wasn't quite sure, but I wanted to get it identified before I did anything with it.. I'll still take a few photos and give you guys a size comparison later tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selsaro Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Alright, got the photos.. tell me what you guys think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Pour something acidic on it. If it fizzes, it's calcite, if it doesn't it's quartz, but not an egg, sorry to say. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 You have a piece of granitic rock with a quartz vein on it. The quartz has eroded to look like a head, but it is not. To see a bunch more rocks that look like fossils but are not check out the 3rd link at the bottom of My signature. 3 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
