My grandfather used to go fishing down in Baja. He would tell the story that a truck carrying onyx eggs turned over in one of the washes, spilling the eggs. They picked up most, but not all of the eggs when they righted the truck but the remained eggs ended up being snake traps. Snakes (which naturally eat eggs) would swallow those rock eggs and would die because they were too heavy to crawl. He said that you would find snake skeletons with onyx eggs inside them. I can't swear the story was true but sometimes fact is stranger than fiction :D
