I've seen several movies that started out this way... they usually didn't end up too well for the guy who tried to open the object up.  Just kidding, but I have no idea what that could be. Best of luck. |

Probably not my brightest idea, but you could use a hammer? I know that would most definitely damage it, but you would be able to see the inside of it.

Very hard and very heavy,my first thought was a meteorite but the look is odd for that,soooo  . If you want to try and break it open how about a bench vise and squeeeez it till it breaks open? John1  |

My first thought was geode as well, so really have no idea then. Maybe a fosilized dinosaur egg? Can you say Jurassic Park IV?

You indicate that it is very heavy. What is the weight and dimensions?

 don't hit it with a hammer--it's much nicer intact. I look for fossils myself, and this definitely looks organic. I've never seen anything quite like it, but it looks like something marine--coraline or bryozoan. Post the pics to a fossil ID site, like Discovering Fossils on Facebook. Edited by DVCollector

I agree, don't damage it, looks egg-shaped and prehistoric!

it looks like a fossil to me as well. i'd hazzard a guess as a seed or sea creature.

I have seen rupees and collect them. Have about 20, covering from mughal times. I have seen roopoos, but I don't collect those.  Quite apart from mirth, I am still curious about density. To that end, some info. on weight and dimensions would be helpful for more accurate comments. |
