I have a round stone that is very consistent with fossilized dinosaur eggs, it even has markings and I want to get it appraised, it looks exactly like the eggs on google and museums, where can I get a dinosaur egg appraised around the daytona beach area? An expert perhaps.

I'm not sure about Daytona Beach but I would think your best bet would be to take it to the Florida Natural History Museum at the University of Florida campus in Gainesville.

There is a store which has two locations in Miami called Art By God. They have tons and tons of stuff like that. I went in to look around they have dinasour bones for over $150,000. Anyway maybe you should find an online forum somewhere where people know about dinasours post some pictures and ask.

There is a group of dinosaur egg collectors on meetup in the Daytona area.

Your post intrigued me so I did a quick bit of research.

"Dinosaur eggs are rare, especially in Florida, because the state was under water when dinosaurs roamed the earth 140 million years ago, Ste.Claire said."
News Story Unearths An Old Egg - Orlando Sentinel

"
Laz Laszlo does not need a paleontologist to tell him it cannot be a dinosaur egg because dinosaurs never lived in Florida.
Nor does he need a geologist to lecture him about how all those local rocks he has been collecting cannot be hydrothermal vent fragments because Florida's geology does not match up."

Maybe the Museum of Arts and Sciences could shed some light on it.
