oldtimer Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Seems there are quite a few threads asking if the specimen is an egg or not. So I have one in question. It this real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It certainly looks real although I don't think those are eggs, but rather some kind of complicated sedimentary/mineralogical deposit. But I have little experience in this area, so let's wait for someone who knows better. Particularly that conical hole at the top of the second photo is a bit of a mystery. 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

TqB Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 The spheres are intergrown and of very different sizes (clear in the second photo) so I'm going with concretion. 3 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I noticed that too, so I was also wondering about some kind of botryoidal formation. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

It this real? Not an animmal egg(S). Looks very much like a cluster of thundereggs. If You can touch it --- then it is real. Just have to figure out a "real what"! In this case it is a real thunderegg. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
