New Members Raul9777 Posted April 2 New Members Share Posted April 2 Does anyone recognize this as an egg? There are a couple shell fossils on it. I’ve had it for a while and always call it my dinosaur egg as a joke. Then I googled imaged a picture of it and thought it might be. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 It's understandable that you would hope this to be an egg. Unfortunately, it's not though. This is a concretion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I agree. Concretion. There could be a fossil inside of it, though. About a 50/50 chance.

Some concretions contain beautiful fossils. Risky business. Tough decision. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Risky business. Tough decision. Sounds like a lot of trouble to me, unless you enjoy doing puzzles anyway. I would expect this one to have a lot of pieces and I'm afraid the odds might be south of 50/50 on this one myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
