I am in the market to buy some dinosaur eggs and want to make sure these are real before buying them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance! I can get more/better pictures if needed.

One of my favorite fossil types. Dinosaur eggs come in all shapes and sizes — from an oval as small as a thumb, to a sphere as big as a basketball. These fossils are often faked by the hundreds, if not thousands, in Chinese factories (China is also the world's richest source of true dinosaur eggs). However, there are also many natural-occurring objects mistaken as dinosaur eggs such as concretions or even fortuitously-shaped rocks. Despite these hurdles, dinosaur eggs remain one of the most desirable of all fossils. NOTE: Dinosaur egg and eggshells, by their nature as an ichnofossil, are challenging for private collectors to identify. None of the IDs I provide here are acceptable on a scientific level as I lack the tools to examine the cross section slices of my eggshells. However, for the sake of documentation I will still provide accurate names and locality here to the best of my ability. First up are my Oviraptorid eggs "Common" Name: Oviraptor egg Elongatoolithus sp. 71 - 66 mya | late Cretaceous Nanxiong Basin, Guangdong "Common" Name: Citipati egg Macroolithus yaotunensis 71 - 66 mya | late Cretaceous Nanxiong Basin, Guangdong Length: 8.78 inches (Note: Has composited eggshells) "Common" Name: Oviraptorid(small type) Nest Elongatoolithus sp. 71 - 66 mya | late Cretaceous Nanxiong Formation Guangdong

"Segnosaur" Egg
Seguidora-de-Isis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good morning to all my friends of my beloved TFF! I usually give my advice, I usually try to help everyone here with fossil eggs. But this time I can not help myself with this egg maybe Spheroolithidae - "Segnosaur" Egg... I'm blinded by the smoke curtain emanated from the flames of the fire called: "I want, I wish it to be real"! So as it is for me, I am afraid of being influenced by myself. So I ask the help of all, please, you take the sales out of my eyes and that you help me to make a good judgment. I thank you all! The seller is a person I trust and I've done a lot of business with him. And the price, if I may say, $ 120.00, and if it's even real, I believe it's a fair price. All the help is extremely welcome, but: Please, I also invoke the help of my dear friends: @Crazyhen @CBchiefski @HamptonsDoc @-Andy- @steelhead9 -
