Crazyhen Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 This fossil is said to be an ostrich egg. It is from Hezheng of Gansu Province, China. Is it an ostrich egg, or a fake one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seguidora-de-Isis Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Excellent material, and it really seems to be genuine. But without good cleaning it is very difficult to give a more accurate opinion. 1 Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of ostrich in china, only in africa. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

DPS Ammonite Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ostrich species existed in China up until about 8900 years ago per Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_ostrich It is unclear if this is a phony, fossil, subfossil or a modern creation with a modern shell. For once, something from China might have actually sort of be as described. Let us wait for further help from experts. 6 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
