The Collector Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 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. 5 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Fin Lover Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Sorry, doesn't look like egg to me either. Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

Sagebrush Steve Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
