So now you have a scrambled egg.

Truthfully - I have no idea.

Welcome to Treasure Net tdust! In case nobody here is able to figure it out, there are also "Fossile" and "Rocks/Gems" forums here on T-Net, and maybe they can help.

Can you tell us where you live or where the dirt may have come from?

Welcome from the UK.

Do you mean it is hollow with something loose inside?

Aren't these called Nodes?? If you crack it in half it maybe full of crystals? That's what I would do.

I wouldn't destroy it by hitting it with a sledge or what ever. Hopefully you will consider getting it Xrayed or at least get some professional input to what it might actually be. It looks like an interesting piece!!!

Reminds me of a petrified walnut!

But on a more serious note....it really reminds me of a rock of sort we found while some years back...already broken open and I will atest to this day....it looks like it's a dinosaur egg and that is what yours reminds me of...similiar to ours.

So cool....and yes, what others said, have someone who knows what they are doing cut it open...can't wait to see pics of it!!!

Happy Hunting,
Annmarie

May be what we call an indian paint rock down here in Louisiana. Crack it open and its filled with clay. Legend says the Indians used it to paint their faces. Who knows?

DG 39 is correct, rattle rock, sometimes called Indian Paint rock. They occur naturally when balls of clay dry out. The outside becomes hard and when it dries out further the inside shrinks and will 'rattle' when you shake it.

I have heard them called rattle rocks also. They are a natural formation of normally clay and sand.
