Whole dinosaur eggs are highly sought-after fossils. The ones usually available to collectors are Hadrosaur eggs, Oviraptor eggs and Segnosaur eggs from China. This thread deals specifically with hadrosaur eggs. Hadrosaur eggs (Dendroolithus sp.) as we know from the market are in fact various dinosaur species, often hadrosaurid (many collectors/dealers lack the tools or discipline to examine eggshells under microscopes or have accredited museums examine them). Commercially available eggs vary greatly in price, anything from 150 USD to 1,500 USD depending on quality, size, hatched/u

Is this a real fossilized dinosaur egg?
iglyphics posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I just bought this dinosaur egg fossil and would like opinions on its authenticity. It is spheroid, 3 inches in diameter, porous and pitted texture. Cracks present as one would expect in a fractured shell. Thanks for any insights. -
I bought this about 20 years ago. I’m trying to find out what type of egg it may be or if it is even real. Thank you

Dinosaur egg or Concretion
Mario Rodriguez posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, Mario, for here. This supposed egg was found in Argentine Patagonia by a friend many years ago. When he showed me the photos we don't know if it's an egg or a concretion. could you give us your opinion? in one of the photos it can be seen that it is crystallized inside. -

I have a Dinosaur egg and would like to know what dinosaur it came from
Houston posted a topic in Fossil ID
I have a dinosaur egg and would like to know what dinosaur it came from im pretty sure it’s real because of the weight and a sign of some red yolk -
Hello all, I joined because I've always been fascinated by fossils, but also because I figured this might be a good place to ask this question: could this be a fossilized egg? It called to me to pick it up out of millions of rocks and stones on a beach in Brighton, UK over 25 years ago, and I just unearthed it again from a box of curios - I've always wondered what it may be, as it's got a surface I've never come across in my travels. I do have access to a fossil park I can take it to have analyzed, but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. Fossil, or simply a neat rock? It is about 3" long an

Real Hadrosaur Egg?
TeethCollector posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I received an offer for a Hadrosaur egg from Nanxiong formation.. and I am confused because the egg looks too perfect... and the crack of the egg looks unnatural to me. Would you share your opinions? -
Hi everyone. I would like your opinion of if this is a dinosaur egg or something else, like a Concretion. I found it several years ago about an hour south of Williston North Dakota. I know the area is known for having cannon ball Concretions but it is also known for an area rich with fossils and petrified wood. I have spent countless hours researching and looking through photos of both Dino eggs and Concretions etc. but have never found anything that looks exactly like this. The closest looking thing I have found to it was actually Dino eggs in the natural history museum in New York. I f

Gotta love these stories. Dinosaur egg seized by Italian customs and authenticated by the Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape. Oh it had a Certificate of authenticity and ID to a specific species Shunosaurus. Problem is that this looks to be one of those very fake Malaysian eggs. Check out the putty looking matrix. Hopefully a paleontologist will soon point that out and a Superintendent will have egg in their face https://www.vice.com/en/article/akgkba/italian-customs-authorities-seized-a-dinosaur-egg-hidden-in-a-package

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?

Examples of Commonly Faked Dino Eggs
HamptonsDoc posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Every day I look through a collection of websites and online auctions for any good deals on dinosaur fossils. Occasionally a real steal of a deal is found, but when it comes to eggs most of what I see is fake. Counterfeit dinosaur eggs are continually found, mostly being sold by the same sellers from China and Malaysia. I personally fell for this trap last year and spent a lot of money on "eggs" that were man made. This is a topic that is brought up every few months on this thread to warn fellow collectors and I think its time again to repost what many others have posted before.- 125 replies

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 behi -
