I found this in my back yard while digging around in my garden area, tons of limestone rock around, and quarries. So i never thought to look twice. But this time i did and i have kept it close ever since. I am dying to know what this is, it apears to be eggs that are fossilized but if so what kind?I have a collection of pretty much everything dinosaur or fossil related, etc. But the only egg or egg shells i have are dinosaur.

These are much smaller, and they have the same type of patterns too.

I find chert nodules in limestone that look like eggs. I love how perfect they are. Don't know if yours are the same, but you might want to go back where you found them & see if there are any broken open.

Cool fossils! I use to live near Dean Rd and University. Not far from Longwood.
