New Members Paul Norman Posted Sunday at 05:20 PM New Members Share Posted Sunday at 05:20 PM Hi, I am really new to this area and I'm looking for some opinions on the rock I found! I found this rock that is shaped like an egg in Northern British Columbia... any help would greatly be appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevicollis Posted Sunday at 05:34 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:34 PM (edited) Not an egg, as it has no features a fossiliced egg would show. I think this is a classic phenomenon called pareidolia, where people see things in other things. It happens to everyone, so no worries about that An egg probably would have a lot of cracks, imperfections, and bumps, after millions of years of mineralizing, beeing crushed because of all the rock above, and then getting erodet by water, wind, natures forces. So, I think you're right with that its rock shaped like an egg, and I can definetly see why you took a closer look Here is something you might find interesting : Edited Sunday at 05:51 PM by Brevicollis 1 My account and something about me : My still growing collection : My paleoart : I'm just a young guy who really loves fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted Sunday at 05:40 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:40 PM Welcome to the forum! Agree - not an egg, but I can definitely see why you picked it up. Eggshell has a very distinct texture, which you can see at the link above. Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
