Dinosaur egg needs identification


The Collector

Recommended Posts

Im sorry to intrude on your topic but im trying to identify my egg found in Shasta County, it's got some baby bones that are slightly opalized inside the egg and the yoke appears to have pseudomorph into nephrite? the inner shell was packed with clay  and the outer has been smoothed with water. i was thinking therapod? there seems to be several nests around my dig location but those are more football size and completely silted up inside, also petrified coral everywhere. hope i didn't upset thanks for your skills in advance

Split out into it's own topic.

 

 

Sorry, but this does not look like an egg to me. Looks more like some sort of cobble or nodule.

I’m with the others…. I’m not seeing any eggshell or bones either….

I don’t believe there are any rock formations in Shasta County that could support finding dinosaur eggs.  Mostly granitic rocks with a few stretches of Mesozoic marine layers.

Yeah, this rock looks igneous or metamorphic to me.
