Genuine theropod dinosaur eggs?
MohammadAAK posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello all! ive recently purchased this piece (I know I should have consulted beforehand) but I only saw it the last minute before the auction ended. I would still love some insight on it and maybe an actual idea of its locality and species (or genera). The seller claims there is no restoration other than gluing different parts together. He also claims its Enlongatoolithidae either raptor or oviraptor or other therapoda. I would love to have better information on it and even its locality in China, since I assume that’s where it’s from. The fossil is 15 cm long. Unfortunately these a -
so i went to Orlando Science Center today for the Dino Digs exhibition but in Jurassic Ridge dig pit area i know that there is a Camptosaurus, Camarasaurus, Ceratosaurus and a Stegosaurus, but there is some species and genus of dinosaurs and other animals that i dont know what there like take for example the turtle shell, the alligator crocodile like animal fossil, the ankylosaur like fossil and that bone that i dont know what species does it belong to and that nest that i don't know which dinosaur does it belong to.

The Advanced Dinosaur Egg Guide Please share this with those who have egg questions. When possible, technical terms were avoided or defined. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but it is always important to do your own research. This guide is merely a snapshot of information taken from many scientific publications. I am not an expert on eggs, rather I just love sharing what little I have learned over the years, what science has learned over the years. For an overview on how to spot a fossilized dinosaur egg and the sizes of eggs, see the basic guide:

One of the Greatest Amateur Contributions…
CBchiefski posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
How an Amateur Collector Changed Paleontology Forever To those of The Fossil Forum, I wish to share with you the story of Maiasaura peeblesorum and Marion Brandvold, both good mothers. Maiasaura was discovered forty years ago in June of 1978; this is the month and year of the Maiasaura. Marion and her son, David Trexler, found fossils fascinating long before Jurassic Park popularized dinosaurs. They would often take a vehicle out and go prospecting in their backyard geologic formation known as the Two Medicine. One hot summer evening when walking back to the vehicle, Marion to -

Oviraptor Fossilized Eggs
DanThe2nd posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I am interested in learning more about dinosaur fossils. (Fossilized eggs in particular) I was at a recent Mineral/fossil show and saw fossilized oviraptor eggs from Xiaxia, China. (Didn't know they existed and were so well preserved) How can you tell if they are the real deal? any tell tail signs? (are the eggs below the real deal?) Also is Xiaxia, China a place where oviraptor eggs are found? (If not where would these of been found?) What is fair price for the Fossilized eggs pictured below? (I thought his price seemed high) Thank you greatly. -Dan -
Just thought I'd share something cool. There's a little rock shop in my city that I like to visit every once in a while. Although most of the fossils they sell are nice little ammonites, orthoceras, shark teeth, etc., they've recently acquired some specimens that blew me away: a couple of solitary raptor eggs, a raptor nest, and a hadrosaur nest! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them. I asked one of owners of the shop where the fossils were from and I was told the raptor nest was from Madagascar and the solitary eggs were from South America. I didn't ask about the hadrosaur nest.

This is the first fossil I ever found. I found it when I was 10 years old. It was at a construction site on the southwest side of Milwaukee. They were digging the basements for a few houses next to ours. I believe this Trilobite is sitting on her nest. I have been fossil hunting ever since. I have lot's of fossil's however I think this one is the best of the bunch. I also hunt for Native American artifacts, Points, Gems, Minerals and anything else i can find in or on the ground. I operate Heavy Equipment as part of my career so I get to do a lot of digging, so I get lucky every now and then.

Unidentified Fossilized Egg Nest Dinosaur Or Other Prehistoric Reptile?
tylerknight posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi there everyone! Just wanted to post a recent find of mine with many more to come! I wanted to start with the most interesting and work backwards. I recently acquired what I believe to be a fossilized dinosaur egg nest of a small dinosaur species. It was included in a box of other fossils I purchased at a small silent auction estate sale of a collector. For some reason it won't let me upload more than one photo even though they are below the 2mb size limit. If someone could explain how to add more I will gladly! The nest measures in at around 4 1/2" from side to side making these mu
