Lucid_Bot Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Howdy! I read over the thread on dinosaur eggs and I'm still not sure if these are real. These two eggs supposedly come from the nanxiong formation of ganzhou China. They are being sold from South Korea.The texture of the egg shell looks like it could be Oviraptor. Is it suspicious that both eggs are listed as being the same size 18 x13 cm? Thanks. Edited March 22 by Lucid_Bot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadrosauridae Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 which concerns you more, that the eggs might be fakes, or that they were illegally smuggled out of china? "There is no shortage of fossils.

Phos_01 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 More photos are needed. They always seem to be photographed like this, on a wooden floor. Matrix seems different then useually more brownish . There are also many red flags on it see photo attached . They messed up with some horrible patch work and filler, and it also seems like they have glued the 'eggs' to a piece of matrix.

rocket Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 they are too short for what they shoud be, Oviraptor-type. Shell seems to be original, I think they are made of original components, perhaps of 2 or 3 different eggs But, they are reconstructions with original parts 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These look quite short and squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
