Mysterious egg found in yard...
 

Can you identify? It's almost round, with a very tough but not brittle shell. Like a medium density plastic. Very firm.

It's about an inch in diameter. Found in the grass, maybe 20 or 30 feet from a marsh. I looked up snake eggs, lizard eggs, & alligator eggs. It's similar, but not exact. It is not like any bird egg I've ever seen.

Perhaps dropped by a bird? Or maybe a traveling animal? What do you guys think?

:shrug: I read soft-shelled turtles and snapping turtles lay eggs that are as round as a ping-pong ball, but a little smaller.
Owls also lay round eggs.

Turtle egg gets my vote.

Maybe a raccoon dug up buried eggs and left one behind?

Try hatching it out

Crack it open

That is an interesting find. Any owls in your area? Just wondering.

Who?

ZOMBIE egg! Handle with care.:a040:

We had a tortoise thst used to lay eggs very similar to that, so near a marsh, I would go with the turtle as well.
If it was a gold color, I would have said a goose!

Crows may have raided turtle nest and dropped egg. See this around sand traps close to pond where the turtles laid eggs and the crows raid the nest they drop eggs every where.
