Are they fossil eggs?

I don’t see any egg texture, to me they look like Spetarian nodules.

Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils;).

Instinct is to call them concretion, but I wouldn't rule out a volcanic origin.

I don't think they are eggs at any rate. Sorry.

These look like chert nodules to me.

To me, these appear to be a siltstone or 'mudstone' concretion (nodule).  Sometimes they can fracture in angular or slightly conchodial fashion.

I’m soooo glad that it’s just a concretion.

Don’t know what it is?......Don’t break it!:wacko:

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
