Dinosaur egg? concretion?


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

Appears to be a breccio-conglomerate nodule. 

Would think in this direction, too....

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!

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.
