Crazyhen Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I have just come across some newly made fake dinosaur eggs from Ganzhou, China. Ganzhou has a large number of dinosaur eggs dug out from development sites but recently some people are producing fake eggs and sell them at a high price with real eggs from Ganzhou. Take a look of the fake eggs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyhen Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 I add a real egg from Ganzhou for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeon.rocks Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Real egg example in photo after some more preparation would look very similar to examples marked as fake (anyway, from these pics I'm not sure why you think those are fake, too "good preservation"?). Send it over, I'll blast it for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send it over, I'll blast it for ya. Why I think those are fake? Because the seller told me that these eggs are made by local "manufacturer". Compared to the real eggs, one might be able to see the unnatural ornamentation on the shells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelhead9 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 If those are fakes, give up trying to tell real ones without drilling into them. Still Life Fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then again, still, if indeed fake casts, could fool many experienced collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 The first pic looks like it has a barely disguised seam running down the middle. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haravex Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 My best advice buy from someone who you can trust, also I prep all my own eggs I obtain to me this does take a lot of time but I know for sure then that they are real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent_Zigzag Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Greetings! Nice example of fake Ganzhou eggs! This type of eggs started circulating in the market since this summer, I am not sure whether this type of fake eggs are circulating in overseas market already or not.

Have not come across any like this in overseas market yet. Hope they start circulating overseas too though, because for the right price I'ld buy a fake like this - and I still have doubts, that these are fake completely. I can see some areas where there is possible restoration, but the specimens appear real. Casts? What we see in overseas market are C and F grade eggs, these if real are A grade quality preservation.
