New Members jawestad Posted February 23 New Members Share Posted February 23 This was found in south Eastern Colorado at an estate sale. Friends have told me that it's a fossilized egg! Let me know your thoughts please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Looks to be a chert nodule to me. Probably look pretty nice if the cut section was polished, but sorry, not an egg. 6 Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

Fossildude19 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Chert or agate nodule. Definitely not an egg. Pretty rock, though. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Mark Kmiecik Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Nice agate. Eggshell is very regular in thickness. That's one indicator that this is not an egg. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
