New Members Antonin Posted April 28 New Members Share Posted April 28 Hello everyone, I have the opportunity to buy this set of 12 fossilised eggs. I shared several pictures. They seem perfectly real to me, but I would appreciate your expertise on authenticity! Thank you very much, Antonin [Seller verbiage removed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for these details! Would you know from which dinosaur? There is debate between Hadrosaurus and Therizinosaurus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is debate between Hadrosaurus and Therizinosaurus. Eggs are not speciated that way. Since it's rare to contain preserved embryos, egg types are not directly associated with specific dinosaurs (unless an embryo has ever been found with that type). I think this is a spherolithis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spheroolithidae List of egg types: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_fossil#Classification At least a portion of this type of egg are from hadrosaurs: https://bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12862-022-02012-x Edited April 29 by JBkansas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF7_Yuffie Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 They look excellent. Spherolithis, which are commonly said to be therezinosaur or segnosaur. Lovely fossil. I wish I had spotted the auction. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
