Ludwigia Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Sorry. Not an egg, but rather a concretion. No sign of shell substance. 3 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Agree with Ludwigia, not an egg. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

SailingAlongToo Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 It is quite interesting though, with the round part embedded in the other rock. I can see why someone would pick it up. 1 Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about science books.........

Bronzviking Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Welcome to the Forum from sunny Florida! Agree with others, Not an egg but pretty cool find! Looks similar to this cut mushroom concretion. Take a look at the different concretion forms. https://www.thoughtco.com/gallery-of-concretions-4122853 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
