Hard to say other then they are interesting. I'd read up on the geology of the area you found these.

The egg shaped one looks like a rock hound spit it open to look for Geodes.

The big one (over 20lbs) that looks like it has a fossilized T-Rex embryo aught to be pretty rare, perhaps I'll set it out at my next yard sale for $500 million and see if I get any takers.:dontknow:

A friend of mine tried that at his garage sale with a set of old klunky golf clubs & bag.
He placed a sign that claimed they were once used by Jackie Kennedy Onassis and managed to eeek out a $5 "premium" on them. 8-)
At least they sold....

I'd say they are Dino poop and eggs...however, to my knowledge Arcanslaw is not known for these types of finds...

If you do some searches you'll find that the Ozark Plateau has an extensive fossil record as well as exposed glacial scalds, so a megalodon tooth is not unheard of but the T-Rex embyo looking egg, I don't know...

Ok, my imagination may be running wild but pic #7 in lower left corner looks like a snake head with its mouth open. The other pic of the same rock looks like it could be a fossilized snake body.

You are looking at the work of a secret order of men. It's not an over active imagination at hand. Nice find.

One might think this is an over active imagination. You decide. I know what it is. I hope you are ready.

For some reason none of my attached images were not showing up so I edited the original post.

The Fourth and Fifth picks are definitely geodes. If you had the right type of tools you could take a slice and get it all polished up. Some of the patterns and colors would emerge. Of course, who has those type of tools just lying around?

I finally made contact with a University Museum and they are checking them out for me to determine if I have anything good or just a good imagination.

Most university don't know how to interpret the stones. But good luck with that. It will be interesting to see what they say. Keep us informed

Bob, I don't know what there is to interpret, they are not man made and don't have any tooling marks that I've seen. These are just fossils and minerals.

Maybe to and untrained eye. There is work done on them. You just don't know what your looking at. The Jesuits are masters at hiding their work. Because of their size it makes it harder to see. I work with the small stuff. I know their work. I will tell you now unless the person who looks at these knows their work. They can't help you. They can tell you what they are made from . The smallest of the stone is the easiest one to see. I will take your photos and show you when I return. You can then use a signs and symbols book to look up. I will circle some for you. I will be back on after 6 pm central time.
