Can anyone tell me what kind of egg this is? I found it 3 months ago in Phillips County Montana and would greatly appreciate any information. Thank you.

More pictures of it would be needed to identify it, but from all what i can see, this does not look like an egg to me. Im not even sure, If its a fossil, or just a layered concretion.

Concretion.
 

The concentric layers point to this being a concretion.

 

Cropped and brightened:

The "shell" is about a half-mile too thick for it to be an egg.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

I wonder if that might be a Baculites in the center of the concretion.  :zzzzscratchchin:
