Crazyhen Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 This round egg-shaped object was found along with genuine dinosaur eggs at Ganzhou, Jiangxi. It is however bigger in size (diameter 18cm vs 12cm) and is dorso-ventrally depressed. Is it a dinosaur egg or concretion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Appears to be a breccio-conglomerate nodule. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Do not see any evidence of shell. Agree with Tidgy's dad. 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...
Troodon Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 The key diagnostic feature of a dinosaur egg is the shell material which is lacking. Since it was found with other eggs guess its possible that the shell material has come off, still worthless and why would you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Most certainly looks like some kind of concretion to me. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Looks like a concretion to me. I don't see eggshell texture. 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...
Bobby Rico Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Yeah pass on this one but better to ask for the options TFF before you commit to a purchase or I call it try before you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
