Troodon Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The eggs are real thanks for the photos. I also wanted to see if they were composited into a clutch which they are not. I see some repair possibly composited eggshell around some areas at the base but overall they are okay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praefectus Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hi @Troodon. Curiously, which spots are you looking at which could have potential repair/compositing? I thought the section in this photo was suspicious, but I'm not good at assessing fossil eggs. Are there any features to be on the lookout for? Thanks.

Troodon Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Yes, That's one of them that looks repaired. They may have just reattached loose eggshells or added new ones. My guess is the former. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Andy- Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Looks like good Dendroolithus eggs to me. I echo Troodon's opinion they may have repairs but are otherwise great eggs 1 Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!

My guess is that they are from Henan Province as that's a common origin for many hadrosaur eggs on the market akin to yours 1 Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!

Crazyhen Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I agree with Andy that this egg is from Henan Province, China. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
