71 - 66 mya, Nanxiong Formation, Guangdong Province, China, 8.78 inches, (Note: Has composited eggshells) -
This is an Oviraptor egg, Eastern Asia, 60% eggshell coverage. 80 million years old. It seems authentic to me, but I’m not an expert. Do you believe that this is authentic (and definitely an Oviraptor egg)? Also is this is a quality specimen? Thanks

Are these oviraptor eggs real?
mapo posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I wonder if you can tell whether these eggs are real or reconstructed or simply fakes? Thanks!

I would like to know if it s possible to differentiate a velociraptor and an oviraptor hand claw. Are there any objective criteria that distinguish them?

Okay, so i recently ordered and received this "tooth" from a 100% trusted seller. It was sold to me as a chirostenotes tooth but that doesn't add up cause i thought they were jawless. There was a jaw specimen found but later redescribed as Richardoestesia. Maybe its another type of small oviraptor? Does anyone know what this is? (The tooth is only 3mm long so it was really hard to take a picture of it and only 4mb allowed to upload pics so just ask and i'll reply with more).

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.

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:

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

A new oviraptor as been described from China Tongtianlong limosus. Near the end of the cretaceous a dinosaur got stuck in the mud all outstretched and perished. Today we have a very well preserved dinosaur skeleton that gives us an insight into one of the last surviving dinosaurs of China.

From the album: Dinosaur Eggs
My Lowell-prepped Oviraptor egg. Crushed but still lovable! -
Heya! I´ve bought some new fossils the last few months, and thought that i would make a topic of some of them, so here they are: Here´s a shark tooth from Morocco: A quite large mosasaur tooth from Khourigba, belonging to Liodon anceps: Here´s a swedish trilobite, Asaphus expansus, it´s not in great condition but these are quite rare on the market anyway and there is something special about owning fossils depicting the prehistory of your own country: Here´s some Oviraptor eggshell fragments, its not an egg, but i like them anyway: Here´s my new favourite fossil, a beautiful piece of rock featuring two complete Elrathia kingii aswell as at least 4 damaged specimens: So yup, that´s my newest additions to the growing collection

Most Chinese raptor eggs on the market supposedly comes from Guangdong. I've noticed that these range in size from 16cm all the way to fat 22cm eggs. Are these size variations indicative of them being from different theropod dinosaurs, or different oviraptorids?

Showing Off My Latest Purchase: Oviraptor Egg
Pachypleurosauroidea posted a topic in Member Collections
About a week and a half ago I was at the 2012 FossilFest in Tampa, Fl, and acquired this beautiful unhatched oviraptor egg. I have wanted one of these for a looong time, and I was thrilled to finally get one. This is by far my favorite fossil in my collection. I would love to see pics of other people's eggs, of any type (except the kind you buy at the grocery store ) I copied the post below from another thread. Enjoy: Here are some of the best pictures of the egg. The gash in the shell is apparently where the egg was stepped on by another dinosaur, seemingly puncturing the shell with a claw, hence the long, narrow shape. To me this is the coolest feature; I prefer it over perfect uniform shell. There is an interesting spot on one side where the shell fossilized in a different mineral, resulting in a brown patch. The pic of the end with the missing shell is the ONLY place on the ENTIRE EGG where shell is actually missing. Attached Thumbnails
