Dino Egg authenticity - real?
BrettCo124 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey everyone! I posted this on a Facebook group and had some great responses. My question is, I recently purchased a segnosaur egg from a reputable dealer who has been selling Dino fossils for a long time now. I have read how some Dino eggs might be fake, and I figured I’d just ask the question and get your professional opinions. Because of the reputation of the dealer, I do believe it’s authentic. It’s not like I bought it off of online from a random person, but I still wanted to ask the question. What do you think? I appreciate your feedback. IMG_9607.MOV

Hi I have had this supposedly dinosaur egg said to be from the Nanchao Formation in Henan China for quite sometimes and I have never really been sure of it's identity whether if it's just concretion and would like to have some experts and third party opinion on this. Any help IDing this specimen would be appreciated. This is the specimen in question: I have also put the specimen under microscope and tried taking picture of the supposedly shell surface texture but am still not quite sure what to make of it whether if this is a texture of a dinosaur egg specimen? I have also taken a picture of the specimen around the edge of what seems to be a shell as well for a closer look in case it helps: Thanks!!

Real or Fake Oviraptor Egg?

Hi guys, I was considering buying the attached egg from a trusted dealer, but I’m aware that there is an awful lot of fakes out there and some can even fool the experienced dealer. Any input with regard to its authenticity would be much appreciated!

Dinosaur Egg - Is It Real?
tdbrown75 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello crew. I was wondering if you all might help with identification of this egg. It was given to me as a gift, about 20 years ago. It's from Hong Kong (which makes me immediately suspicious). I checked out the thread on how to identify a fake, but not being an expert, I really can't tell one way or another. Now if it were a 60s Mustang, or a vintage computer, I could for sure tell you all about it! Hoping you brave souls might take a crack (haha) at verifying whether not it's real, and what species it might be if it were. It looks great on my hutch behind my desk regardless, so no need to be gentle. Thank you for your time!

Thank you for allowing me to join your group. I am always looking for answers to my geologic questions. Anthropologically, I am pretty sound but I feel I am in an abyss of rocks, minerals and fossils on this property I am excavating and need guidance. I hope yall reach out your kindness and help me unlock some mysteries. Yippee!! I just uncovered what seems to be a very very large oval egg. What do you think?

Hadrosaur egg is it real?
Dinobot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone, I was recently on this website to ask about a couple eggs I bought and I found the input soo helpful! Thank you all for taking the time to help amateur collectors from getting doped:) I am looking at purchasing a second set of eggs, these ones hadrosaur. The seller has stated they are from Asia, China, Henan Province and were purchased prior to 2005. They admit that the matrix was broken and the two eggs believed to be from the same nest (based on the break line) put back together. they are from Provenance: ex-Donald B. Saxman collection, Tomball, Texas, USA. It also comes with a COA from a paleontologist in a Texas. any input on authenticity, amount of repair and if this is a good piece to have it my collection would be greatly appreciated. unfortunately these are the only photos I have

Hi, I grew up in Nebraska and somewhere or another I found this stone. We used to find lots of Mastodon Teeth, Camel teeth etc. in the Platte River Valley. And I know Nebraska was an ocean a long long time ago so occasionally we'd come across Megalodon teeth as well. I found this though. The backside is very smooth and round, it has what looks to be a well defined yolk like interior and what looks to my untrained eye to be a cross section of a small skull/cranium with beak like end. I would like to know if this is what I think it is.

I found this around an abandoned mine in Middle Arizona where I gather up mineral specimens I carve into statues out of honey calcite orange calcite and what is generically called Mexican Onyx in yellows whites and root beer. Matching eggs on line have only been found in Colorado as far as I can see and I dont think we have egg bearing shelves here so I am skeptical of my find. I really wish I can find out if it is real and what species it is. Curious is that there are some paint splashes of tan on part of it so its been around contemporary modern human kind activity. Dimensions are 9" x 7.5" weighs around 22 - 25 lbs Tell me what you think and Thank you in advance!

Eggs of which species of dinosaurs, reptiles, birds are found at the present time
MiseriKing posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hello dear members of the forum. Very interested in the question of the eggs of which species of dinosaurs are currently found? I mean fossils of course And why not found eggs suppose stegosaurs or pterosaurs? Thank you very much. -
One of my favorite fossil types. Dinosaur eggs come in all shapes and sizes — from an oval as small as a thumb, to a sphere as big as a basketball. These fossils are often faked by the hundreds, if not thousands, in Chinese factories (China is also the world's richest source of true dinosaur eggs). However, there are also many natural-occurring objects mistaken as dinosaur eggs such as concretions or even fortuitously-shaped rocks. Despite these hurdles, dinosaur eggs remain one of the most desirable of all fossils. NOTE: Dinosaur egg and eggshells, by their nature as an ichnofossil, are challenging for private collectors to identify. None of the IDs I provide here are acceptable on a scientific level as I lack the tools to examine the cross section slices of my eggshells. However, for the sake of documentation I will still provide accurate names and locality here to the best of my ability. First up are my Oviraptorid eggs "Common" Name: Oviraptor egg Elongatoolithus sp. 71 - 66 mya | late Cretaceous Nanxiong Basin, Guangdong "Common" Name: Citipati egg Macroolithus yaotunensis 71 - 66 mya | late Cretaceous Nanxiong Basin, Guangdong Length: 8.78 inches (Note: Has composited eggshells) "Common" Name: Oviraptorid(small type) Nest Elongatoolithus sp. 71 - 66 mya | late Cretaceous Nanxiong Formation Guangdong

I know a lot of people have posted like this but,... this really has me and a couple geologists here in TX perplexed. My dad found this in Oregon in the 1960's. It was not anywhere near a riverbank but rather, was sticking out of a sidehill. It is translucent almost like quartz, has indentations where it appears it was once soft (see close up) and I recently took it to my vet who x-rayed it and it appears to have a uniform inner density different from the exterior see x ray. Are there better x rays out there? Thanks Much

Hello, My name is Rick and I live in San Antonio, TX. I have been collecting fossils and arrow heads since I was young. I am almost 50 now... My family also has some property near Vanderpool, TX (near Lost Maples State Park) We have found ocean fossils and arrow heads out there. I also have several large fossils that were acquired from the Canyon Lake, TX area. I would love for some new folks to see what I have collected and get some feedback on what I have. I think they are cool, but I would like to see what others (semi-pro or professional folks) think of my finds. One of my largest items is what I think may be an dinosaur egg. I have never had it looked at, but I will post some photos of it in the identification section. I have had it at least 25 years. Look forward to making some new friends and having fun. Thanks, Rick

I am a newbie- found this interesting rock on the side of a hill outside Albuquerque. It measures about 12 inches across the top, with interesting knobs on the top, and striations inside. Could anyone identify this?
