New Members Lenny Posted September 3, 2018 New Members Share Posted September 3, 2018 I found this in the cascade mountain range in Wa State. If it’s a fossilized egg, can some one possibly identify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Sorry, weathered concretion. There could be a fossil in it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocentx Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi Lenny. This doesn't have the right shape for egg and no evidence of shell material. which would be much thinner than what's here. There's definitely a layer of one material around another but I'm not versed in the geology of that area. It is similar to some nodules that contain fossils. If you wanted to try splitting it you might ask @Nimravis how to go about it. Good luck!

daves64 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Even if it were an egg, the chances of it being from a dinosaur are pretty much nil. Washington state is too young for dino's. *sigh* 1 Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

Is this not the spot in the general area where they freestyle (with a big hammer) crabs and such from concretions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
