Is this a real dinosaur egg?

So I found a website that claims to sell real fossils and found 2 items of my taste now but am not sure if they're real or not

I don't think either are real, personally. 

Better pictures would be needed, but, the eggshell looks quite thick, 

The lizard looks carved/drawn on, to me.  

 

Again, better, brighter, in focus pictures of the items would help.

I don't think the egg is real. The lizard looks like one of the Sinohydrosaurus/Hyphalosaurus I used to see for sale back when I purchased fossils and it might be real but I'd really like to see better pictures.

There appear to be (on quick inspection) different number of ribs on either side of the vertebral column.

I’m not sure what’s going on with that “egg”. Not great. Agreed, I’d stay away!
 

The Hyphalosaurus likely has some parts that are real.
