What is this egg?

Reddit Animals

I found this egg buried in my yard today. We were guessing it may be a from a snake or other reptile, as it was buried and packed in pretty solid, but we have no idea.

Birding Villahermosa’s Urban Parks

10,000 Birds

And then there was a Green Heron , not only showing us its nest, but also an egg. The reptiles in Parque Tomás Garrido were of the crocodilian variety.
