Dinosaur Egg Real or Fake? Looking for an opinion
Akaspris posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, I was hoping to get some opinions on an egg that I was thinking of purchasing. The description has it as either an oviraptor or a tarbosaurus. It seems to be in to good of shape making me question it. The dimensions are 33cm x 11cm x 10cm with weight of about 10 pounds. They are saying it is from the Djadokhta Formation of Mongolia and was from a private collection. There are some red flags from the description but thought I would ask for some opinions. -
Hi all, I found this sea shell by a Malaysia beach. It was unusual in that of the thousands and thousands of "fresh-looking" shells around, this one looked incredibly old and felt more rock like than shell like. A museum staff examined this and concluded it is a Murex shell that's at best Pleistocene-aged but he admitted he isn't a specialist in sea shells.

Dino egg-real or fake?
Aaron Livingston posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone! I’m Aaron and I’m new here. I just purchased an egg online. I then started reading about how many fakes there are and now I’m very worried. Can anyone give me the skinny on whether it’s real or not? It’s coming from Malaysia and claims to have been part of a private Japanese collection prior to the 80s. I appreciate all your input, thanks! -
Help for identification? I have nearly zero experience. Thanks.

Hello all, I will be in Singapore from December to end January. And I cannot bring my fossils with me... T.T Does anyone know if there are fossil sites around Singapore? Malaysia? Indonesia? I know there are some finds in Indonesia (Java) but would be great to have more precise information (papers, etc) or people from the area. Any info will be much appreciated. Thanks!! Edu
