Troodon Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Is 6 mm in your dimensions the thickness of the eggshell? And obviously you do not have a provenance on this item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilSniper Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Correct on both counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Look its possible its a Megaloolithus sp. My concerns : cannot see the back side, no provenance, publications describe titansaurid eggshell thickness has 5mm or less depending on location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I get a mineral vibe from this. could be wrong though. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 The Argentinian Sauropod eggshell fragments are often sold by various sellers. MotM August 2023 - Eclectic Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josesaurus rex Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 It certainly coincides with what I have seen of the shells that come from aucamahuevo, in the Argentine Patagonia. However there are better specimens online. Greetings and good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
