Grimmie Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 My uncle lived in Davenport, Iowa. He gave me a bunch of items like this 30 years ago when I was like 9 years old. I do not know where this was found, or if it is real. Thanks for any insight! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it isn't an egg. Rather it is a very nice colorful agate nodule. Nice piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilNerd Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I agree. It’s definitely not an egg, but is a nice geological piece. If you had a means to polish it, I think it would really pop. Here is a link to a pinned thread we have regarding fossilized eggs and how to tell if you really have one or not. 1 The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Welcome to the Forum. This is definitely not an egg. This does not fit any of the criteria for egg fossil - no shell material, no shell texture, and no egg shape, either oval or spherical. Please look through our Egg Guides. They were written by a paleontologist who studies fossil eggs.
