a real dinosaur (hadrosaur) egg?

Hi guys,

 

Is this a real Hadrosaur egg fossil? There are so many fakes out there so I really like your opinions. The egg is found in the Henan province in China

[Troodon]

Yes its real, some of the shell is missing and the matrix is typical of what you would see on this egg.  Could do with some prep work.

It's real, but the condition is poor. There are better ones out. Skip this one unless it's a steal.

Looks to me like there has been some repair?

Repair whould be a shame! Where do you see it? It’s an steal btw

It looks like a composite of 2 partial eggs. The grey cement-like substance is not natural to this specimen.

From worse it gets worser haha. A partial will be a breaker, are more people suspicious? For me it just looks like places where the eggshell is fallen off.

In the photo, all the greyish area looks suspect to me.

Egg looks real to me.  Not the best specimen but if the price is right and you're happy with it then go for it.  The grey area looks typical for what you can see under missing shell on this type of egg.

Agree with HamptonDoc and Andy,  like I said before looks real and let me add I do not see any resto.
