It's a fossilized egg. I don't have the resources or knowledge to determine it's age or species. There aren't many archeologists or paleontologists around the Red River! Actually I think UNT has a very good paleontology department. Thanks! I'll contact them Monday.

Call Dr. Tom Lehman, Texas Tech University. He will be happy to help.

Try getting ahold of the North texas Paleological Society in Dallas. The Rock Barrel should have thier number if you can't find it.

I called their number and got a recording about the next meeting being June 13th.  I contacted the Paleontology professor at Texas Tech. Rather than send several series of questions, pictures, and emails back and forth, I think I'm just going to mail it to him.

Hope you took photos of the site and took GPS coordinates of the place. To point out the obvious where they is one egg there are probably others or other fossils in the area. Cool find!!!

Wow! Very exciting find there!
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.
