We were at a friend's house today, and their young boy showed off what he called his 'dinosaur eggs'. The broken one resembles the bigger one from the outside, but they broke it open to see the inside. The white stone rattles inside when shaken.
I have not heard if Belize has had dinosaurs, but I know there have been mastodons living here. Since I cannot really identify these rocks, I was hoping someone would venture forth and say if they have seen something similar, or if there could be a chance that these could be fossils of some sort. Perhaps its just a geode, but it seems very hard on the outside.
Don't be shy to leave your thoughts about this one!

Fossils
I have no clue what this could have been but it was given to me by a friendly neighbor boy who knew I liked rocks. I was happy to receive it!
This was a very recent find and a first of its kind, although I saw a similar fossil not too long ago.
Shell fossils are very common. it is interesting to note how the different types of rocks preserve the fossils differently.
This one is very intact. This rock smells toxic but I do not know what type it is.
This one also has me puzzled but it seems like an obvious small creature fossil.

More agates +
If there is such a thing as a rock hunters heaven this would have been it for me.
We found every shade of red and several shades of blue, yellow and white, pink and gray, multicolored and a bunch of agates, translucent and banded. We found something that looks like blood jasper and mosses. You see the round stones we found in the top left corner. we also picked up petrified pieces and clear quartz crystal.
These rocks are wet to show better color; but it also makes them appear a deeper blue than they actually are. But we had never before found so many blueish rocks. I found the biggest piece under foot after noticing bluish chips that probably got chipped when the bulldozer rumbled over it. I think I know now how it feels to find gold. Only recently we picked up what was the first deep blue we had ever seen, but either we have now developed an eye for blue, or we have found a source. Let's hope we can snatch some more of these before they are destined to be compacted into a road somewhere. :(
If I can see right, this here is a nine lb. yellow jasper mixed with white. I was not just a little excited to dig this monster out of the ground. I do not know what the inside will look like but all the chips reveal yellow.
I hope you enjoyed the photos! And please feel free to comment or if you have any more names for my rocks that I should know about please share!

Limestone covered leaf
Years ago my dad used to own some wild country that had a creek on it. In the water we found twigs and leaves encrusted with limestone. It was amazing! Here is a picture of one of those leaves covered entirely in limestone.
Found close to Los Tambos, Cayo District

More identical unexplained rocks
I showed you the one on the right before, wondering how is was formed. Well, I still wonder. Maybe even more so, as
I found a similar one.
I found a similar one.
the one on the left has very similar marks, only finer.
I see that I have a few followers by now. (thank you guys!) Is there anyone out there that knows more about these rocks than I do? I hope one day someone will venture forth and tell me what they think, or know!
