Hatched egg with baby/embryonic remains?
FF7_Yuffie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Before I go further with getting extra photos and details and measurements of it--- a quick question, but are eggs like this, supposedly with small embryonic bone pieces actually available quite widely? I am surprised to have been offered it--like I thought these were like gold dust. But are they a thing and do they come up for sale rather than being museum pieces/studied? Is it worth me inquiring further about it and getting extra photos--or are eggs with embryonic/baby remains so rare that this isn't worth looking more into as it likely isn't actually baby/embrionic -
Just interested in the opinions of these Oviraptor Eggs I saw in a gallery They say they are from Nanxiong China, with minimal restoration. They look real to me especially with all the detailing on the shells and they are very heavy. The gallery seems to be reputable but I wanted to see what people on here thought.

While prospecting for gold in Placerville, California on Weber Creek in a deep hole I found two eggs a dino bone fragment, which I sold to a local store and a seed grinding tool. The store owner also sold dino poop that he found in the area. Once I presented the eggs to him he pulls out a spray bottle of water lightly misted the eggs and said they were tacky. He said thats a sign of calcium. He still didnt know what species they were. The eggs easily fit in my hand. Is there anyone who can help with the possible I'd of these eggs? Thank you for your time.

So I found these in Lethbridge Alberta on the Old Man River in the Bear paw formation about 20 feet down from surface in some exposed shale formations. And we would like to figure out what it is?? The first one weighs about 2.3 pounds and length is 15.5 cm and 6.5 wide. The second is smaller at 0.6 pounds and length is 14.8 cm and 6.4 wide. We have found ammonite and baculite in the same area.

Hi there, I'm looking at possibly buying another saurpod egg. The seller identified it as a hypselosaurus priscus egg, Provence basin france. From the last post I did not on eggs I understand eggs are specifically attributed to hypselosaurus anymore? I'm looking for a museum quality piece as my other egg examples are just decent. Please give me your thoughts and let me know if you require more photos Thank you!

I’ve been working on a display centred around dinosaur eggs and fossils of young dinosaurs. I’ve so far gained quite a bit and have some more fossils on the way for the display. I will work on getting photos of the individuals pieces for now I’ll leave everyone off with the whole display currently. I will update this as time goes on.

Came across this weird item on our favorite site labeled as an egg. I’m thinking it could be a concretion, but there one part near the bottom that looks to have a piece of “shell” with texture. In the other broken open one there’s a close up that looks like whiteish ribs or possible feather? Can someone please help?

Birdlike behavior in oviraptoroid dinosaur brooding on nest full of embryos. Found in China. https://www.globaltimes.cn/index.html

A long time ago, I came across a picture claiming to be an eggshell from an egg with evidence of hatchling behavior. It looked fairly legitimate - it does really look like the behavior of a small creature pecking out of the shell since the crack is focused on such a small point. My question is, is it possible to tell on smaller or larger eggshell fragments? Take smaller fragments that have cracks running across them like this one: or large entire portions of the egg like this one: What would likely indicate a shell fragment was pulverized by the -

A Study in Pareidolia. NEW MEMBERS READ THIS PLEASE!
Auspex posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Offered through the link is one of our occasional interactions with someone who is either trolling TFF (great sport, apparently), or somewhat overwhelmed with runaway pareidolia. Our responses are also typical of how TFF works; presentations of the facts without any mockery or derision. We are here to help anyone seeking answers that are within our sphere of knowledge, but sometimes logic cannot prevail. >LINK<- 1 reply

Hey everyone, Have a buddy who went to Fremont Butte in Colorado. He hauled the picture out. Now, I know you will probably need more pics, any chance it is an egg cluster.

In some sandstone caves on my property there are layers of conglomerate stones laid into otherwise fine Hawkesbury sandstone. In amongst these there are hollow egg shape structures, some broken off but one in particular in intact but with a hole in it showing that it is hollow. They are all embedded in the ceiling of the cave. the one featured is about 4 inches long. Can some one tell me what they are likely to be?

Think you found an egg? Read this first! Dinosaur Egg Guide- Basic
CBchiefski posted a topic in Fossil ID
The Basic Dinosaur Egg Guide Many people often mistake a concretion for an egg, to help clarify what is a concretion, and what is a real egg, here is a guide. A quick overview with examples: How to spot a concretion: How are they different from eggs? A concretion is a rather common rock made of tightly compressed minerals. Typically, concretions are a smooth sphere or oval with little to no surface texture or just a few bumps. Often nearly a perfect sphere, sometimes more of an oval. In a concretion, there- 14 replies

This is a clutch of 3 eggs from Heyuan, China. The egg measures about 9cm. Are they genuine? What about the shell coverage %?
