Brevicollis Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Hello, could you please provide us with the information from the label ? Finding location, age, formation would all to ID this piece. But from all what I can see so far, this does not look like an egg to me, more just like a rounded rock No recognizable egg shell texture, an egg this fossilized would most likely have cracks running through it, as it had been most likely been compressed, exposed, eroded, e.t.c... But lets hear what others have to say, if I'm just seeing things... 3 My account and something about me : My still growing collection : My paleoart : Im just a guy who really loves fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Welcome to the forum! Unfortunately, I'm not seeing any evidence that this is an egg, either. This link has a lot of information on fossilized eggs: 2 Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 It's usually fast flowing rivers or wave pounded shorelines that produce rocks like this. Perfectly symmetrical ones are somewhat rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I think it's too big to fit the definition. Aren't we talking cobble here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
