Segnosaurus egg?

[Vincent]

Hello fellow dinosaur enthusiasts! I'm currently bidding on a what they say is an Segnosaurus egg on a website. I contacted the person and she said he bought it years ago also on a website. Now is the thing she doesn't have an proof of authentication and if I look around the internet all the other Segnosaurus eggs have more smooth shells. But this might be that it was found in a different type of soil. According to her the egg was found in Xixia, China. I hope one of you guys can shed a light on this if this is an authentic egg or not.

I fear this egg is a composite made out of egg shell parts glued together.

Have a look at this thread:

I agree with Thomas. It looks pieced together. But the pieces do look like egg shell. Whether they're from a Segnosaurus is up for debate. 

 

Edit: when purchasing high value fossils, such as dinosaur eggs, it is priceless to do your homework and research, research, research. It will be time well spent, unless money is not an option for you. Dinosaur eggs are OFTEN faked. Think as though you're getting paid $200- $500 an hour to research. Hahaha
