My recent find

[DINOMAN91]

Picked up lbs and lbs of these dinosaur egg shells this weekend at a show anyone know what these species they may come from? Thanks for everyone’s help the nest they were found in had a bunch of crushed eggs and only a few whole eggs which I will be getting next month I’ll make sure to post the pics

[DINOMAN91]

Here are some more close ups of the shell fragments any idea what species they may come from

[Runner64]

We’ll need to know location, formation, age. Even at that, eggs cannot be identified down to species I’m afraid unless they are found with associated bones.

[DINOMAN91]

I will get all that information tomorrow location formation and age I will contact the seller from the show

[Pterygotus]

Any locality?

[Troodon]

These images should be included with you orginal post.  These are pretty large fragments and which remind me of those from Argentina.  But like you indicated in the other post you will ask the seller about locality.

He said that they came from Patagonia in South America. The only other information related to penguins that would nest were these egg shell fragments were. It had something to do with the chemical make up of the shells which also related to regulating the temperature of the area somehow. He said the scientist thought that it was also where the dinosaurs would nest for the same reason. That was it, very interesting 

[Troodon]

The eggshell fragments are most likely from Titanosaurids given the thickness and ornamentation.   Quite a few nesting sites in Patagonia.

[DINOMAN91]

They all range from 3/16 to 1/4 inch in thickness the guy has had them for 40 years in his collection and told me he has a few complete eggs that I will be receiving at the next show that we’re also with all the egg shells at the same site

[DINOMAN91]

Probably common Saltasaurus eggshells

[paulyb135]

Nice egg shells and the rest of the collection looks good too! Are they real skulls and claws or replicas?

 

Please share on the collection page for everyone to admire 

[DINOMAN91]

The skulls are cast from the originals some of the claws are cast from the originals but the majority of my collection Is all authentic I have 6 dealers that I purchase from and each of them send letters of authenticity with each piece that I buy as well as all of the information about it. Some of the stuff I have found myself I do have a lot of authentic claws and teeth as well

Howdy @DINOMAN91, a nice collection you have and based what you stated, many of the eggshell fragments are likely within the oofamily Megaloolithidae, an egg type. Understand I am not certain since I can only base my ID on the surface texture, thickness, and geographic location. If you can provide a close-up cross-section of the shell that would be helpful in any further ID. The Megaloolithidae oofamily is associated with a number of different potential dinosaur clades, sauropods and titanosaurs among them.

See my egg guides for more info:

I have confirmation  from Peter Larson the owner and founder of black hills institute that they are definitely titanosar egg shells and very nice ones he stated

[DINOMAN91]

Also thanks to everyone who has helped and commented on my post I will be sure to add pictures once I get the complete eggs next month
