C2fossils Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Found this in a cliff side in Colorado I am not sure but it looks like a mollusk or Crinoid bulb, DINOSAUR EGG!😆 Thanks!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Hmm....there just may be some shell substance from a bivalve there, but it's certainly not a dinosaur egg or crinoid. Can you please be more specific about the location and give the stratigraphy if possible. 1 Â Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

westcoast Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Looks like a poorly preserved bivalve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2fossils Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 I don’t remember exactly where in Colorado I found it I do know it was close to the Golden Gate Canyon State Park. And the rock type was a conglomerate of quartz, sandstone, pyrite, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I vote for some sort of poorly preserved bivalve.  Cropped and brightened:    1    Tim   - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER     VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015                  IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024  _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

jpc Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 This is a tough one. Looking at my geology map of CO, it looks like almost everything around that state park is Precambrian, with some tertiary volcanics. This is not Precambrian and I doubt it is from tertiary volcanics....   It does look like some remnants of shell on there and its impression, but I don't think this is very identifiable.    2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2fossils Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 Okay, thank you! I kind of figured it was, I just wanted a second opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
