1st Jul 2012 15:31 UTCAqua marine

HI

this egg shaped hard object was found in a big rock with holes in it.from a remote mountain. it is very hard with smooth surface and milky interior.some thin lines are visible inside it.

can u help me identify it.

what it could be. how to find its age or how to check whats inside. a fossilized egg?

Looks like a typical egg cut from Mexican onyx - who "found" it?

Hi, Aqua Marine. What a nice object! Surely it's an interesting finding, but I don't think is a fossil...It looks too much "perfect" in my opinion. I feel to agree with Darren, but in this case an appropriate question is: who or what put this "egg" in that hole?

With respect with its age would be helpful to understand if this object is autochthonous; in affermative case, could be enough to consult some information about the geology of the site. A striking, alternative idea: maybe an oopart???:-S

Looks to me that what you see from the outside is what you will see in the interior, as it appears to be translucent. A fossil egg will not be translucent, I doubt it would be so perfectly egg-shaped, and it certainly would not be polished, like what you have. We just don't find things like that in holes of big rocks.

I was as astonished as you probably were! Quite agree ;-) A dragon egg, maybe...

A.m.,

Have you ever seen a fossilized egg, in a museum, or google images? you can tell instantly it is not natural; As others have said, way too perfect.

And why is it always a 'remote' mountain? Isn't there just one 'normal' mountain somewhere? Poor mountains...

Agree; definitely not natural.

Looks more like a piece of glass that has been shaped like an egg than any natural mineral.
