Nandomas Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 No dino egg, sadly it seems a worn conglomerate Erosion... will be my epitaph! http://www.paleonature.org/ https://fossilnews.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Don- I don't see egg either. I work in a geology museum and we get lot of folks who find dinosaur eggs and bring them in to us. Not a single one has been an egg. Eggshell has a certain crystal structure that I don't see in yours. Most of the ones we see in our museum are actually concretions, but I don't think yours is. I'm not sure what you've got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdevey Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Nice find, looks like a geode to me. Dont break it! but I'd like to see it cut open. If you do, find someone that knows what their doing. I'd hate to see it in pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFossilHunter Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Doesnt look like an egg. Why do you think this is an egg? just because of the shape? Does the formation where it was found have potential for preserving dino eggs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
