Found in southern New Mexico by my late aunt. When I came across this rock on her desk it looked like she had been working one side by means of small tools like picks and brushes so naturally I did my best to continue where she left off. Approximately 40 hours in total and a picture began to emerge. I share a few photos now in hopes to understand what they show. It measures roughly 6 centimeters by 3 at it's widest.

I can’t see anything suggestive of a fossil. A near microscopic photo might reveal more. Also, the Sonoran Desert (a tag) is not present in New Mexico.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.   

See my Arizona Paleontology Guide    link  The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

Definitely not an egg, if that is what you were thinking.

Just a rock, for me.

May I ask what you think you are seeing?  Sorry, but I'm not seeing any fossils either.

My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.
