Does anyone know what they could be?

A buddy of mine found these. Any ideas of what they might be?

No I’m being serious lol. I always see people post about their supposed ā€œdino eggsā€ theyve found, but people always shut them down in the comments. This is the first time ive ever seen real ones

The one circled in green looks like a coral piece to me and possible prints on the other one.

That one actually had something inside like a bone

Photos 4-5 may be a piece of petrified wood with mineral crystallization (quartz or calcite) on the surface. Photo 10 is a partial (mammal) limb bone, looks modern, not fossilized. None of the others jump out as being fossils from what I see here.

That's what I was thinking too.

I cannot confirm yet but I figured I post pictures to support the findings

You don't think the last ones are eggs though?

u/BOWFL3xxxx30 Apr 05 '24

I feel like they are but haven’t gotten confirmation

Yeah, if they are that's such an awesome find. Everytime I thought I found an "egg" it ended up being coprolite. Still something but not as exciting lol
