We found this thing years ago and have jokingly called it our dragon egg. It's been outside and this winter it hatched and the outside came off like a shell of an actual egg. Could this possibly be a fossilized egg? I don't want to smash it open and potentially ruin what's inside if it's something2yr ⋅ Massive_Ad4997 ⋅ r/fossils
