dinosaur man Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hi I’m wondering if these are real? And if they are, are they actually from Spain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Yes these are real eggshells Their color, size and texture are consistent with other eggshells claimed to be from Spain 4 Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pemphix Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Colour of a fossil does usually depend of the minerals which are involved during the fossilisation process. So they are different for each fossil and for each site. Only some of the sites have a unique colour of the fossils caused by the special mix of minerals during fossilisation process. So the colour of a fossil is - usually - not a good single ID-maker... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caterpillar Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 There are the same levels with eggshells in north Pyrenees (France) and south Pyrenees (Spain) But in Spain, searching dino material is strictly prohibited (like other fossils) So, spanish eggshells are unusual on the market 3 http://www.paleotheque.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggs are found in the Pyrenees mountains which cover parts of Spain and France and all of Andorra. No way to tell what side of the man made boarder they came from. Fossils from Spain are illegal but legal in France. I have no idea about Andorra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
