Geep Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 A seller near me has a fossil egg. A hadrosaur egg of some sort. I think the seller is genuine, and I am fairly well committed to buying the egg at this stage, but want to confirm things before it all gets the final go ahead. I've looked at the various egg buying guides here, and though this doesn't look quite like the example eggs given it also doesn't look like any of the fake eggs. Can people please let me know if they think this is a genuine egg? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Do you have any information where this is from and its Size? It does look like a dendroolithus egg that has not been cleaned but not getting a good look at the eggshell. @-Andy- @aeon.rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 @Geep what @Troodon is asking is the geographical origin. We prefer you do not mention any prior ownership. Thanks. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I vote for this being a real dendroolithus egg 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...

aeon.rocks Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Imho real, raw prepped by airscribbing on the shell (white areas are chisel marks). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
