Hi Everyone, I just purchased multiple pieces of dino egg shell that all come from a partial single egg the recently shattered and want to try to glue it back together. There is no matrix and the egg is hollow. I ordered some PaleoBond PB100X Structural Adhesive, is that all I need? Any advice? I've never prepped or reconstructed anything before and figured this may be a fun project!

Is this Dino egg real ? Or just a rock?
-
This clutch of dinosaur eggs is from Ganzhou of China. Among the normal sized eggs, there is a much smaller egg. Was it part of the same clutch (like leatherback has both normal sized eggs and small unfertilized eggs), or it belonged to another animal?

Can any one tell me what this fossilized egg is.
-
I can't figure out what this might be, I hope you can see it well enough. It was very hard to get good pics of the crushed side. I think it could be a crab shell, it's crushed but firm tho it seems slightly pliable and even breakable. It's not. The "mouth" seems to be more of a dent than an opening since sealed over and the perfect little circle on the top reminds me of a horseshoe crab. Some of the pics are color saturated to enhance the detail as best I could. Please, help, so curious!

a real dinosaur (hadrosaur) egg?
Wowbnjijdat posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi guys, Is this a real Hadrosaur egg fossil? There are so many fakes out there so I really like your opinions. The egg is found in the Henan province in China

Hi all, I have come across numerous theropod eggshells sold as "Oviraptor from Mongolia" through the years. Mostly, I pay them no heed. As I am aware, whole Oviraptor eggs from Mongolia are in fact Elongatoolithus sp. eggs from Guangdong or other parts of China. True Mongolian eggs are very rare. What about these eggshells though? My guess is that thousands of them come out of China, the same way as the eggs and egg nests. But then again, eggshells are more common, and is it that implausible for some of them to be Mongolian in origin? I label mine as being from China, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

Dinosaur Eggs from Hezheng
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Please take a look at these dinosaur eggs. They are said to be from Hezheng, Gansu, China. Are they genuine?

Hello, I found these fossilized 'eggs' taped together at a pawn shop in Kalispell, Montana. I know nothing about them but they are really cool! Does anyone know what they are? The more oval one is about 2" long by 1.5" wide. The more round one is about 1-9/16" x 1-13/16". They were sliced in half when I found them. The one that looks slightly developed ha some missing 'yoke' around the center small circle but is close to fully intact. They are fascinating but I don't know much. I'm a newbie. Thank you for any help.

Good morning, I was given this rock 15 years ago and I believe it is from East Texas, but that is just a guess. I have no other information. I think it is nifty, but no clue what it is. Sorry if the files are too large, I'm inept.

Are these dinosaur eggs or rocks? They were found during a road works in China.

Greetings! We found this fossilized egg on the banks of the clay cliffs in Maryland. We frequently find fossilized shark teeth, stingray jaws, whale vertebrae, and megalodon teeth on the same banks. It was a round/oval shape with a crack in the top and we proceeded to break it open (not the best idea now!). You can clearly see the yolk and egg layers. We would love any help identifying it! Thank you!

I found this opposite my house and thought it looked like a fossilised egg? Helps appreciated thanks

Location Cikembang Beach, Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia. Looks like an egg in size and shape. What could this be? Thanks.

A few months ago I was helped here to identify a clam fossil and now near the same area I have found this. It doesn't match any images that I have found searching. Thank you.

Found in an old railyard. I don’t know much about fossils, I just pick up cool rocks.

On your advice that the best method of preparation of an Oviraptor egg is Air abrasion, i bought me a sandblaster. I have also used my air scribe and bought a slightly cheaper egg for testing the method. After some time I finished the prepared of the egg. I hope you like it? Here is the unprepared egg: and after the preperation:

My dad claims this is a dinosaur egg. I'm just wondering if his claims are true! Says a general in China "re appropriated a couple" from Henan Province when they dug up a bunch! Much Thanks :D.

A gentleman asked for help identifying this and told me he found it near Mt. Pleasant, TX. Based off images on the internet he thought it might be a fossilized egg. He was NOT willing to break it open. I forgot to include something in the photo for scale, but it's about 5" across the long side. He's asked me to call him when I find out more information. My first thought was a geode. Members of the Dallas Paleontological Society's Facebook group said an iron or limonite concretion. What features differentiate this from a fossilized egg?

Oligocene egg and eggshells from the M&M Ranch in Nebraska
MarcoSr posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
We get a lot of posts on TFF on eggs which mostly turn out to be geologic specimens. So I thought I would post a real Oligocene bird egg and some eggshells from my sons’ Nebraska ranch. The egg and eggshells are from the Scenic Member of the Brule Formation. Here is one of three complete bird eggs that my sons have found on the ranch in 2016 and 2017. This egg, found by my son Mel, is around 2 ½ inches long. I’ve found a large number of eggshell pieces in the anthill matrix that I’ve been taking from the ranch during the last two years. I’ve found eggshells in all 18 areas of the 360 acre ranch where I took anthill matrix. I was really surprised about how common the eggshells are throughout the ranch especially with the fact that I didn’t find bird bones. A good number of eggshell specimens from my September 2016 trip to the ranch have just been given to an eggshell researcher. I’m really looking forward to her opinions on them. I’ve been assuming that they are all bird eggshells. I again found a large number of eggshell specimens from anthill matrix from my May 2017 trip to the ranch. Below are close-up pictures of an individual eggshell specimen which is 5mm by 3 mm by 1mm thick. Outside of eggshell (note a good number of pieces have this pattern but there were a number of other distinctive patterns on the outside): Inside of eggshell (note the inside of all specimens pretty much looked like this): Cross section of eggshell (note the very thin white outer layer): Below are a number of eggshell specimens from my May 2017 trip. For size reference the gem jar cups are 1 ¾ inches in diameter. The specimens in each cup are from a different area of the ranch. Some eggshells have the outside of the eggshell face up and some have the inside of the eggshell face up. A few eggshells are missing that thin outer layer of eggshell. Note that there are several distinct patterns on the outer eggshells. Marco Sr.

Ok, found my first Dino Egg!!! You can easily tell by the roundness that this is a fossilized Dinosaur egg. You can also tell by the texture that this is a Dinosaur egg. and lastly, you can tell by the color that this is a Dinosaur egg. Yep,,, no dought about it, dino egg for sure!!! and I wont ask for a 'whats it worth',,, cause i already know its worth 10's of thousands of dollars.$$$ Oh, I found this in the very unknown RB Formation. Pliestocene in age. One more drink and it will be an opalized dinosaur egg with a frog inclusion!!! Ha!!! RB
