Aurelius Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I saw these beauties on a popular auction site a few days ago. They are described as authentic dinosaur eggs. Clearly, they are anything but, and they appear to be simple septarian nodules. Anybody interested in how to determine whether a dinosaur egg is fake or not should do a forum search, since the subject has been comprehensively covered. This first one, you'll be fascinated to know, actually shows the preserved embryo. They have a couple of hundred watchers, and are already at a remarkable price for ordinary rocks. I informed the seller that they were not dinosaur eggs, in the interest of giving them the benefit of the doubt. They thanked me, but a day later they are still online, so I know what I think about that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hey @Auralius, at least you tried. Thats about all you can do. Its up to the buyer to be careful and do their homework. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
