Is this Chinese Oviraptor egg real?

Dear fossilfans, Could anyone have a look at this Oviraptor egg from China? Is it 100% real, and how much should I pay at maximum? Thank you for helping me out

Possible dinosaur egg? What are your thoughts?
-
Is this a genuine egg? Of a small dinosaur or reptile? It was found in Ganzhou of China, Cretaceous Formation.

Found in a wash of an Upper Cretaceous formation in the Four Corners area of the United States. I guess it is some sort of fossilized egg but would like a second opinion. In the formation, fossils from former terrestrial, aquatic and arboreal life is routinely found. The specimen is 6.3 cm long, and due to some compression at the time of fossilization is sort of shaped like a Brazil nut around its middle.

Greetings Fossil Forum members..I am looking for a positive Identification on this specimen, which was found on private property in New Mexico, near the town of Edgewood..Appears to be cast/mold of the contents inside an embryonic egg...I have circled in red highlighter what I believe to be the enlongated, oversized head of this unidentified creature, thought (by me) to be the unborn offspring of an unidentified type of smaller sized plant eating dinosaur, or Sauropod...

Hello, I am new on forum, my name is Gregory. I have a few mammal fossils on my collection and was looking at dino eggs (I know nothing about them). I visited a few of your topics talking about them. I saw one on online and was wondering if this is a real one or a faked one. size : 16 cm X 7 cm.

Two eggs--if someone can take a look and let me know what you think, that would be great. They are Hadrosaur eggs from China. From the Nanxiong Formation in Guangdong Province. Seller says no repairs or restoration. And adds that the first egg is more complete than the 2nd. Egg 1: 10cm x 6CM Egg 2: 11cm x 7 cm Now, does the slight difference in size mean they could be from different species, or can dino eggs from same species sometimes be slightly smaller? Or could the size difference just be due to fossilisation--one getting a bit more squashed and elongated than the other? Now, with these--I assume the brown stuff is sand and matrix covering the shell---that wouldn't be a cause for concern and be hiding something shady?

Isle of Wight is these fossil egg?

Hello! I am not a serious fossil collector, but I am always on the lookout for fossils when I am around exposed rock. I was hoping the members of this site could tell me if they thought this rock was a fossilized egg. I was struck by its shape and its texture. I photographed it in the Grand Canyon on the trail between Phantom Ranch and Cottonwood Campground. It measures about 5 inches squared. Thank you for your thoughts!

Found slightly north of Columbia, SC in the middle of the state in a creek. Caught my eye because of the inside, but the outside seems to have some sort of non-natural looking inclusions. If you’re able, zoom in on the exterior to see what I mean. Any help is appreciated! Totally understand this could just be a rock but it seems too odd.

A clutch of dinosaur eggs
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This clutch is from Jiangxi of China. It looks genuine to me but I would like to have your views, and also if the shells are prone to be falling off.
-
Unfortunaterly, there's not much information--the seller doesn't usually deal with dinosaur fossils and has had it instorage for over a decade, so the only info available is that it's a Hadrosaur egg, from China and cretaceous with shell loss to one side. No more specific as to location/formation. Length = 17.5 cm Weight = 4.3 kg So, what do people think about it? Now, I was wondering, could the base be hiding some damage/a hole? The base looks a bit off to me, like it's been added---is it a common bit of fakery to make a partial egg look complete by applying a base to them and could that be the case here? Thanks for any help and opinions.

Are these three eggs genuine? With full shell coverage?

Hello. My grandmother found this probably in the 1920’s. I have conflicting information. Some say is dinosaur egg, some say sedimentary geode. I must admit it looks nothing like the other geodes she and i collected together but perhaps it is. Thought i could get your opinions on this. Probably found in central texas although she never said where she got it. Thank you for your help. I can take better photos if these not good enough. Just let me know. There are no crystals inside.

My father lives in SE MN, south of Rochester. He lives on a farm on top of a hill and has been doing a lot of topo work. In doing so, he has discovered that almost every rock he picks up has what appears to be seashells and fossilized plants in them. His research led him to conclude that the fossils are in the range of 400 million years old. The other day he was walking his land and saw what he thought was a potato sticking out of the ground. He picked it up and was puzzled. It feels hard like a rock, is smooth, and most shockingly it glows when light is applied to it. Is this an egg of some sort?

This egg is from Jiangxi, China. There are white deposits inside the egg. Are these bone fragments of an embryo?
