Troodon Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Both are composited eggshell fragments assembled in the shape of an egg. Avoid very fake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I agree. Likely composites of separate egg shell fragments. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamptonsDoc Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Very bad composites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Avoid them. They are composites and their eggshells do not even belong to the claimed species 1 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...

Mark Kmiecik Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Edges don't match. Should mate like hand and glove. Color varies from one bit of shell to the next. Depth and grain size of matrix is inconsistent in adjacent areas. Shell ornamentation direction varies on adjacent pieces. I know five-year-olds who can do a better job of faking it than this. I'm into plants. If I can spot what's bad about it, it's REALLY BAD! 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
