ynot Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 No it is not an egg, not a fossil at all. Looks like a decrotive polished rock. 3 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Fossildude19 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Welcome to the Forum. Unfortunately, the picture is blurry, and there is no scale included. The background is also very busy. Quality pictures and information on where the item was found are key in determining the identification of fossils. That said, I do not see any eggshell texture. My vote on this given the pictures provided is that this is a river worn chert nodule/cobble.

And You can find the polished "egg" rocks in all types of rock, many sizes and by the 1.000s at most gem and mineral shows. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
