Crazyhen Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 What's your view on the authenticity of this egg? It is 16cm in length, still largely embedded in matrix. This egg was said to be just dug up from Ganzhou, Jiangxi of China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snolly50 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I would like to own and prep that egg.

Seguidora-de-Isis Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 This egg is not wet as the sellers have a bad habit of doing, and I like it! Definitely it is an egg Elongatoolithus sp. of a real theropod dinosaur! The rock matrix is perfectly compatible with the coloring and granulation typical of the Ganzhou region, Jiangxi of China. I also liked the shells of other eggs scattered on the back of the matrix rock, besides, the egg seems to be very complete ... Congratulations, it will look beautiful after being prepared. 這樣的帖子，讓我想離開阿根廷永久居住在香港！ Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, they don't see that it is a problem and they still do it to show the egg's ornamentation more clearly. But yes, this egg was not wet, at least not when they took the photos!

-Andy- Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I like this egg too! Looks good to me. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!

indominus rex Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Where do you find all these great fossils in HK? The most I found was a mineral shop. Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
