Looks like a fake egg that poultry farmers put on the hens nest to keep them on the nest and laying. Dumb chickens think the thing will hatch! My Dad raised chickens at one time and used porcelain balls and they work just fine. Monty

Marble isn't smooth naturally, although I would wonder how this got shaped like this and didn't get smoothed. Something to check: Were there dinos in your area? And have there been eggs found? No fossil dinos, no fossil eggs. Fossils are so relatively rare because of what has to happen to become fossilized. You have better odds of hitting the lottery in all 50 states than being fossilized. Except for your arteries.

Based solely on where you found it, not dinosaur egg. More likely geode. Any stone in a gravel bed would be worn smooth pretty fast. Your stone appears more rough and probably is much harder than the surrounding stone.

Geode, maybe? Not familiar with your area at all, so almost anything harder than the general underlying rock is possible.
