Is this real raptor egg?


Recommended Posts

It looks like a good, real Oviraptor Egg.

Looks good to me.  I wouldn't call it a "rare museum specimen" though.  These are fairly common as far as dino eggs go.

Common as dirt in Asia. Museum specimens are much better than this one. That said, it is a fine specimen for a private collection, depending on your budget.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

There could be some restoration on lower and/or low-right area, difficult to say... Common, real, but somehow people still pay 4 figure sums for even worse preserved and composited or restored specimens.
