Real or fake bargain hadrosaur egg

[ruminate]

Came across with this cheap bargain hadrosaur egg, wondering if its actually a crushed egg or just rock and dirt concretion, the dealer gave me a video of it but im not sure if i can post it here so il just post the image.

Not familiar about the topic, but atleast for me the picture is not showing.

 

File name suggests screenshot, so you might get better quality by loading original picture.

Cant tell if its real or not.  Would need good, clear pictures, and hopefully of more than one side.  

 

It might be real and low quality. 

It might be a real core with random real fossil eggshell glued on.

It might be a fake core with eggshell glued on

It might be fake all together.

 

Its very difficult to tell from just pictures on the internet.

This shape looks weird for a hadrosaur egg?

 

I always ask myself 'why would someone fake a low quality egg? So that must be real' But maybe fake sellers take advantage of the fact that people think this way
