It reminds me very much of this
egg, but earlier in the development before any markings showed up. It turned out to be a cute little leaffooted bug.

I agree, it's a leaf-footed bug
I might even go one step further and call it Acanthocephala. Compare this one and click on it for related images:



The seam around one end, shape and pearly coloration are all a good match.

Plant?
Do you know what plant it was on? With eggs, caterpillars, aphids, etc. it helps to know the plant. I know, I know! Most of the time I forget to take note of that, too.

Also...
Any info you can give on habitat and specific egg location (e.g., top or underside of leaf--this looks like it's on the top) are also helpful.
The perforated circle suggests some kind of true bug... the large size should limit the options considerably...

....
Yes, it is the top side of the leaf.

Habitat is a rocky area fairly close to the edge of a cliff with Blackjack Oaks, Elms, and Cottonwoods.
See my other comment on additional plants.

....
There were lots of woodland plants around but I believe it is a low-lying honeysuckle vine. In the area there were also grapevines, blackberries, vetch, foxtails, and some bluestem. They were all intermingled but I believe the specific leaf is a honeysuckle.
