I'm looking for ID help on this thunderegg. I'm hoping to buy it, but the owner will not sell this rock until it identified. Thank you, Yuri

No idea but it looks good. Looks like a copralite in places.

Looking at the t-egg's rind and the formation around the center, I can't see enough coloration to make a guess, but I'm not the expert. There is a website I love www.sailorenergy.net/Minerals/DwarvesETAgatesEggsThunderEggs.htmlthat has tons of sites to glance through. You might want to start there. Look for those that have that brown web-like markings like the one you picture. Good luck, Lowell

Interesting Egg. Afraid I have never seen one like it either. The "look" of it looks like something from South East Oregon.... Maybe from the Alvord Desert area, or even the Harper area. There is many beds down in this area. Nice score!
