maceemiller Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi there. Many years ago my grandfather gave me this "egg". Having found it packed away earlier today, I thought I'd join this forum in the hope of finding out just what it is. I have no idea where it was found. Thankyou in advance.

TqB Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi, not an egg I'm afraid, I think it's a fossil sponge in flint. Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I agree with Tarquin. Finds like that occur quite often. Pity. It really does look like an egg at first glance, doesn't it?

CH4ShotCaller Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I agree, it's not an egg. But, it's certainly a good conversation piece. Seems that many members of late have found some interesting pieces that are very suggestive. One from last week resembled a small human skull. Keep up the hunt!

Roz Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'd be tempted to open it. I notice it looks as if it has a stress fracture. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Cracking it open might result in a mess. If I were to try opening it, I'd try a cut-off disk and a dremmel. Might crumble anyway, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
