Spotted salamander eggs are more oval or kidney shaped, with 30-250 in the mass & it is enclosed in a clear to opaque white gelatin-like sack.
Wood frogs are spherical eggs & about 500-1500 in the mass with no surrounding sack.

I bought their field guide to the animals of vernal pools at a local reptile show. It's excellent.
