Dino1 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hey guys, I saw this listed as a oviraptor egg, seller claims to have taken it to a museum to have it examined. This looks a little different from other oviraptor eggs I have seen and I don’t really see signs of embryo. I would appreciate any input on it. It was found in Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Ask the seller which museum, and the name of the qualified vertebrate paleontologist who made the claim. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Don’t know about the paleontologist but the museum is kaimichi museum at Oklahoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I suggest you try to research that "museum" and see what you find. Might be an egg of something but without better photos hard to say much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to move on especially since the info you've received is very questionable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also looked for that museum, and nothing, I think possibly the seller means a museum around the Kaimichi River. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadrosauridae Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I would caution extreme wariness here. First, theres no such animal as "Kiamichi museum". Second, I've only heard of a single find of a raptor from OK and its not from near the kiamichi river area, and NEVER heard of raptor eggs being found. Without reputable verification I would call this an interesting shaped river cobble. "There is no shortage of fossils.
