Oviraptor Egg Authenticity
dkurbel posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, I'm new to the site. Can you help me determine if this "Oviraptor Egg" is authentic? It was purchased from a popular auction site and received less than a month ago. It is claimed to have been purchased from a Japanese collection which originally purchased the egg from its original owner in Mongolia in the 1980's.- 8 replies

Dear dinosaur egg collectors, after buying my first spinosaurus tooth some weeks ago, I decided to look for a oviraptor egg. First I started reading threads in TFF where experts give hints to detect fake eggs (thanks for sharing your knowledge). Then I have read several threads where people ask if the eggs are real and I think I can detect most of the fake eggs now. But in this particular case I'm not sure if the egg below is real or fake? The egg shape is pretty wide from one angle. The shell is very complete and from my point of view the texture and pores continue after a crack in the shell. What do you guys think? Thanks for helping. Max

Hi, Just curious of everyone's thoughts on this Oviraptor Egg? Locality : East Asia (Cretaceous) Species : Elongatoolithidae That's about all the information I have from the seller along with some pictures. He states that the egg is 100% genuine and if proven otherwise there will be a full refund. Some glue was used to stabilize the shell. Thanks E1.bmp e2.bmp e3.bmp e4.bmp

I am new to the site and was excited to find such a wonderful site dedicated to Paleontology & Fossils. I recently was excited about a purchase I had made in reference to some Dinosaur Eggs. they where supposedly from an older collection and where from a well established auctioneer. I am now wondering if they are real. I will post some photos, since I would like to know any opinions on them form the true experts. The three where: 1) 5 Therizinosaur Dinosaur Eggs partial nest 2) Duckbilled Dinosaur Egg 3) Partial Nest of Five Oviraptor Dinosaur Eggs.

Australia Zoo took some X-rays of this egg using different exposure factors to see what was inside. They discovered an anomaly that they best described as being an embryo inside.© ©

Oviraptoridae Oviraptor ~ 75 MYA Late Cretaceous Period Late Campanian Stage Mongolia This is an egg that I've had in my collection for over 20 years. In 2009 a friend suggested I get some X-rays taken to see if there was anything inside so I asked my good friends at Australia Zoo to help.© ©
