Longer Description
Discovered in Baja California, this ovoid stone exhibits characteristics strongly suggestive of a fossilized dinosaur egg. It features concentric ring-like formations on its flatter end, with a mineral composition indicative of long-term fossilization processes. One side exposes what appears to be chert or flint, a silica-rich mineral often found in fossilized remains. The object’s heavy weight (795 grams), smooth outer texture, and partially fractured side revealing interior mineralization are all traits seen in authenticated fossilized eggs from the Cretaceous period.
Though it has not been verified by a paleontologist, the stone’s morphology — including egg-like symmetry, sediment coating, and lithified texture — supports this possibility. Such finds are rare in the Baja Peninsula, making it an intriguing candidate for scientific evaluation or collection.
