This is supposed to be a Hadrosaur egg from China, from an older collection.

 

I'd appreciate any input. From the images I've seen its not obvious, but more convincing than some fakes I've seen. 

I'm afraid other than 'Hadrosaur' and 'China' I don't have any further information.

Looks like a real Dendroolithus egg.  There is some repair and reattachment of eggshell not well done.  Eggshell does not look stable in some areas so more can break off especially while shipping.

Appreciate that. It's rather cheap but I'm not 100% sold by it so I think I'll leave it this time. :)
