Dinosaur egg? Heiroglifics?

[money malcolm]

I have a couple things.

I know bottle is in obear nester, 1940? I'm just wondering if it was soda or liquor.

I really want to date this padlock...

Is that Indian heiroglifics on that rock?

WHAT is this stone with a shell that comes off?
A dinosaur egg? Is it a fossil?

Found all of this yesterday in an old miltary outpost.

Thank you so much for looking!

I think your egg is a concretion. Scroll down on the link and you can see something similar to yours.

Thank you that's awesome. So is this considered a fossil? I read article and was sort of confused. Some people break them open to find fossils?

You could break it open and see if there is a fossil inside, which is what I would do you aren't going to lose much if it is not.

The padlock is in the style of a Yale padlock. Can you show me a pic of the other side and bottom?

It looks alot like the yale style, but why no markings?

I'm guessing a 80s or 90s knockoff.

Thank you. I'm so confused because where it was buried and how deep I was almost sure it was older. Your probably right.
