This appears to be a very rounded piece of pitted chert. I don't see signs of egg shell texture.

Rock, not an egg.

I mean the same as the previous two.

Nice egg-shaped stone, but, only a stone (?chertpebble?)

I found a lot of these  round dinosaur egg shaped stones back in 2011 in  Excursion Inlet, Alaska, just around the corner from Glacier Bay Park. The lodge owner told me that locally they are called " Glacier Eggs". They have tumbled for many years underneath a glacier to become that shape and are then deposited on the shoreline or at the altitude where the glacier melts.

 

The funny part that the lodge owner said was it was lucky to find them and now you just put them in a basket and sit on them and you'll hatch a baby glacier. lol!

 

No luck with mine, yet, but I think granite eggs have a longer gestation period. 13 years and counting. The largest one is about 6" diameter.

Could also be eroded feildspar/granite.
