Dinosaur Egg, Zhejiang, China
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
These eggs are said to be from Zhejiang. Are they genuine? Still have shell?

This is a relatively rare specimen，I got it in July this year，and it cost me nearly one month to clean and repair it.All in allot is a wonderful specimen from Liaoning Province, China.There is also a small claw，it is just a ordinary claw from Psittacosaurus. If you have anything you would like to know about fossils from China，you can come and consult me（especially vertebrate and egg） (I feel like I have many grammar mistakes hhh）

Thankfully, Morocco offers Theropod Teeth at reasonable prices. They are quite attainable. These 2 teeth, were sold as; Spinosaurus Sp., and Carcharodontosaurus Saharicus. I am aware, that the Spinosaurus tooth has likely been repaired. I believe the Carcharodontosaurus tooth, has not. Hopefully, these id's are correct?

Hiya everyone. Want some opinions on this egg it’s from an old collection and from a reputable seller in the uk. I know a lot of shell is missing but any help on the legitimacy of the egg would be great. cheers

I found this fossil along the shore of a large river / Lake along a steep bank in a high erosion area in Northwest Montana. Could it be a fossilized egg? Or, Could it be a Coprolite from a carnivore? It looks like little bones and a wormy looking thing. Thank you for your help!

Hi there I inherited some what I believe to be bones maybe of the dinosaur variety? They take a nice polish. I believe these are from somewhere in the US but I have no idea where they are from or what geologic age.

Found this week, recalling the info troodon taught me some time back this appears to be theropod material. Wondering if anyone can help me narrow down anything else, maybe what part of the animal & if possible (if it is theropod) whether it’s tyrannosaurid or ornithomimid, as far as theropods in the area that’s all it could be at this size. dinosaur park fm

Hi Fossil friends! you were great identifying my false fossil (it was a bullet <insert embarrassed emoji>) Here is another chunk of bone found in Drumheller. I’m not too worried about what Dino it came from, but it would be awesome if that could be narrowed down. But I’d really like to know what bone/body part it may be. I’m thinking it’s part of a vert, or even a plate? Thank you for any info you may contribute! I’m more comfortable with Ontario Devonian fossils, but always looking to learn more about later Dino fossils as well. IMG_5203.mov

Im sorry to intrude on your topic but im trying to identify my egg found in Shasta County, it's got some baby bones that are slightly opalized inside the egg and the yoke appears to have pseudomorph into nephrite? the inner shell was packed with clay and the outer has been smoothed with water. i was thinking therapod? there seems to be several nests around my dig location but those are more football size and completely silted up inside, also petrified coral everywhere. hope i didn't upset thanks for your skills in advance

I remember reading once that the first dinosaur skeleton to have been found in North America was Hadrosaurus. I didn’t know until reading today that it was found in New Jersey. Hadrosaurus foulkii was found in 1858 on someone’s property at the time. Thanks to the brilliant work of an Eagle Scout and later, a fourth grade class, the site was rediscovered and memorialized and the dinosaur became NJ’s state dinosaur! The memorial is just up a short ravine from the supposed dig site. This was a fascinating read and something I didn’t really know much about beforehand, but I’m curious about something. Unlike so many historical paleontological sites on the east coast, and frankly many modern sites too, this site is actually preserved and accessible. It’s not on private land, and it hasn’t been developed over. It’s part of a park, so people probably can’t hunt there, but scientists probably could get permission. How come this site and others like it haven’t drawn interest from paleontologists modern-day? Dinosaur-bearing exposures are so rare here on the east coast. How come nobody has bothered to come back and see if there is anything left of the dinosaur weathering out (the skeleton was not 100% complete), or if any other significant fossils are to be found? Was it truly a one-and-done exposure, or is it worth investigating further? I suppose one possible answer is that it could be a fully marine deposit? In that case unassociated dinosaur material is exceedingly rare, let alone finding a whole skeleton. Even still, the site would then be similar to Big Brook. You would think the area would draw similar interest. Just a random thought today.

This is a clutch of dinosaur eggs from Gangzhou, Jiangxi Province of China. Note the small egg among the dinosaur eggs. Any idea if the small egg is a turtle egg or what? Sorry the images are not very clear as they were captured from a video.

I got into an argument with some people on whether it's spelt "dinosaur" as I said or "dinosuar" as they said. Who is correct?

Found in hill county Montana yesterday. I believe it’s a lower ceratopsian beak, but I just wanted to make sure (and don’t feel bad telling me if it’s not). It was on a hill surrounded by literally hundreds of pieces of frill. I hope it’s a beak. I’ve always wanted to find a horn, but up in the JRF where we look they’re always in ten thousand pieces- a beak would probably make me just as happy thanks for any help. -if it is a beak would this size make it a juvenile or are ceratopsian just smaller in the JRF? the other pic was one of the pieces of frill that looked a lot like a peripheral part of the frill - don’t know what it’s called. Thoughts?

Take a look at this egg, see how beautiful is its internal crystalisation. What is your view on its authenticity?

I recently attended an estate auction where a bunch of crystal and mineral specimens were sold from a decades old collection. A very large “petrified wood” specimen caught my eye immediately. Apparently the collector didn’t have any records to help identify the specimens and the auctioneer was oblivious. I can say without hesitation, this is not petrified/fossilized wood. It is a massive dorsal or possibly caudal vertebra. I believe it was found in the U.S. since basically all the other specimens from the collection originated from the U.S. or Central America. I am fairly confident it is from a sauropod. Can anyone confirm this identification? Also, as a an interesting side note, when tested with a Geiger counter it’s pretty warm. Measurements are in inches, sorry it’s what I had available.

Howdy, I found a supposed dinosaur egg on an auction site and was wondering if it's real.
