This was found behind my father in law's cabin in the woods, in a pile of rocks next to a creek. Not entirely sure if this is a fossil but I would suspect that it is a clutch of eggs. I have found numerous, large crinoid stem fossils (they appear to be carboniferous) in the same area every time I go out on a fossil hunt. If it were from the same general time frame, I'd suspect it to be a clutch of early reptile eggs. However, this is only an amateur's guess.

[Editor's Note: This sort of thing fools collectors all the time. It is almost certainly a mineral formation like goethite or hematite or other sedimentary formation. Perhaps someone familiar with the minerals of Ohio can leave a comment to be more specific. I'd like to point out that, although not a fossil, it is still a very interesting find and worth taking a look at.]
Found this fossil while out walking the dog.

[Note: We are not certain is this is a fossil or a sandstone formation of some kind. Is anyone out there more familiar with the fossils or geology of Wollaston Northants? Please leave a comment.]
How weird is this one?
Found South Central Missouri, foothills of the Missouri Ozarks, 10 miles south of Rolla, MO on our land. Dirt/weedy washed-out rocky hillside. We don’t really think it’s a broken egg but that’s what it resembles 
There are yellow crystal specks abundant on one side of the center section, not so many on the other side but it does include some tiny black specks there. The “egg” ends are white & generally smooth with some slight creases and the center section is fairly smooth but rougher in texture. We hope someone knows what this is. My guess is some sort of throat bone/gizzard bit? I hope it’s not “just a rock”, the shape seems too odd not to be a fossil. And credit goes to my 13 year old son Derek for spotting this cool find. Thanks to everyone for looking.

Editor’s Note: We agree. It’s weird. This looks to us like an artifact of some sort rather than a fossil. Is there anyone who can help identify it? Please leave a comment.
"I found this on my uncles ranch in the Badlands of North Dakota. Took to a fossil place and they cleaned it up. High pressure air, its not sand stone, but hard as a rock and heavy. There might have been a inland sea here at one time. We find flat rocks with sea fossils in them also. This fossil has rings in the stone almost looks like layers."
Note: MyFossilFind tends to think that this is a mineral formation, but we are not sure what kind. Is anyone familiar with this sort of find whether fossil or mineral? Please leave a comment and help us to identify it!
