Turtle Eggs

Most of these eggs retain their full, naturally inflated shape with no apparent parts missing leading one to believe that they are UNHATCHED eggs.. while a few have the ends missing, but are still nicely inflated.  It is questionable on those specimens as to whether the eggs had actually hatched, or if the end was damaged during excavation.
