Dinosaur eggs

It's against our policy to make any recommendations for selling anything. Anyway, these rocks don't look like dinosaur eggs to me.

Correct on both counts. We prefer to discuss fossils and leave the commerce to other websites (there are many). Your "eggs" all look to be either concretions or water rounded cobbles. Dinosaur eggs are extremely rare and every single "egg" we've seen here on the forum (other than real eggs purchased from known localities) have been concretions and rounded stones.

 

Real fossil eggs have a very specific texture. If you are interested in fossil eggs (and learning why your rocks are not) you can read an excellent guide here:

If you go to Schoolhouse Beach on Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin, you can find hundreds of thousands of "eggs" just like yours. Egg-shaped rocks are as common as dirt, expecially where you have moving water. Your rocks are not eggs, and you can buy them at your local garden supply store in 50-pound bags for about $10 per bag. Your rocks do not have any of the features inherent to fossilized eggs.

 

 

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

I agree these are not eggs of any kind.


Maybe some sort of concretion.


We do not offer advice on fossil sales, nor do we discuss them on the open boards.
