oviform
Shaped like eggs
Oviform means egg-shaped—rounded and slightly elongated, typically broader at one end than the other.
The term appears in technical and scientific contexts describing objects, structures, or organisms with this characteristic shape: oviform leaves, an oviform skull.
Oval is the more common word for everyday use.
