Dinosaur eggs from Ganzhou, Jiangxi?

Recommended Posts

These are said to be crystallized dinosaur eggs from Ganzhou, Jiangxi of China.  You can see clearly the crystallization inside.  Are these genuine dinosaur eggs or concretion?

They look like dino eggs but the crystal is not important in this ID but the eggshell. Do you have any closeup pictures of the shell. What size are these.

These are real dinosaur eggs, typical with what you see from Ganzhou. I can see proper eggshell pattern on them. Some sellers call them 'Small hadrosaurs" but who knows what they really are.

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!

You mean 10cm is not typical of hadrosaur or other common types of dinosaurs?

You do not put species names to eggs but refer to them in terms of eggshell type.  Few egg types are known to a species since the eggs were found with bones.

By the way, it was said that crystallized dinosaur eggs are the rarest types of dinosaur eggs found in China, if you don’t count those with foetus inside.

Agree with Troodon looks like real dendroolithus eggs to me. Very cool with the crystals, would love to own one like that!

Thanks, now I know better.  The eggs really look very nice, though I was told that the dinosaur eggs are not treated carefully.

The crystals remind me of "dog tooth" calcite.
