Eggs and Eggshell

[FF7_Yuffie]

Hello, I thought I'd share my eggs and eggshell collection. Eggs are all from China. Eggshell are from different places.

 

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All of these eggs from China. I hope to add a French egg at some point, and some other types from China.

Bought as "pyroraptor" - I am guessing there is an actual Oogenus which I should label it.

 

 

From Judith River

 

 

Sold as Oviraptor from Mongolia. Could be from Mongolia, could be from China. They were dirt cheap.

Megaloolithus from France

Eggcelent collection, Jack!  Haven't seen any eggshell from Spain before, so pretty great to have that in your collection too!

Top left - From Judith River

Top right - Megaloolithus from France

Middle left - Maiasaura

Middle right - Saltasaurus, Patagonia

Bottom - Macroelongiliithus, Henan, China (A bit that broke off of a larger "Tarbosaurus" egg--seller sent me a photo of the egg which was also used to create replicas which are sold online) Or, rather, from--the much larger theropod eggs which are believed to be Tarbosaurus. I believe, they're actually thought to be from Gigantoraptor now.

 

 

I hope to add more, soon. I have 500G of Nanyang Eggshell (mixed species) that is currently on its way. I look forward to have a rummage through it.

I got a huge bag of mixed Nanyang eggshell.

 

 

 

 

Shifting through it, Ive found a few different variations already.

 

 

 

 

1 - A mix of speckles and more elongated lumps going in all directions

 

 

2 - Small elongated ridges going the same direction

 

 

 

3 - Speckled

 

 

4 - Very faint ridges and very thin shell

 

 

5 -Smooth and thin.

And each variation so far all together

This thread is a very good reference for people who think that they have found an egg.

[FF7_Yuffie]

An unusual one, with tiny little holes in. Could this be where the speckles have worn off, or a different type?

 

The paper I am looking at to help doesnt mention this type. 

[FF7_Yuffie]

A curious one that is paper thin - the thinnest I've found, half as thin as the possible Prismatoolithus.

[FF7_Yuffie]

An unusual double layered bit. Tricky to photo.

My progress so far going through my eggshell bag -- and still lots to do.

 

 

Top - Quite thick shell pieces with mainly speckles (some may be different, I will go through it again)

 

Bottom Left - Smooth and thin

 

Bottom right - Smooth and paper thin

 

 

Top Left: Thick and smooth

 

Top Right: Tiny holes

 

Bottom: Oddities - Any which are different -- double shelled, one with scratches on it, one with bizarre ornamentation. Some speckles ones which are much thinner than the others etc.

 

 

Top Left: Various ridges and nodes and lines and very thin shell

 

Top Right - More prominent ridges and nodes and lines, thicker than the others

 

Bottom: Various ridges and nodes and lines and medium thick shell.
