Hypselosaurus Sauropod Eggshell (France)

A small fragment of eggshell from a Late Cretaceous sauropod dinosaur. The eggshell you receive will look similar to those pictured.

The geological formation where this eggshell was found, the Rognacian Formation, located in the Aix-en-Provence Basin of southern France, is Late Cretaceous in age. It formed in a floodplain environment with seasonal aridity, ideal for preserving dinosaur fossils, such as Hypselosaurus sauropod eggshells. This formation has yielded significant titanosaur remains, including bones, eggs, and footprints, offering insights into the region’s ecosystems just before the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction. The formation’s distinct red hue, due to iron staining, is a key identifier of its fossils.

Each eggshell comes stored in a display box featuring the specimen name, region it was found, age and a QR code linking to some information about dinosaur eggs (the fossil can be removed from the box).

This is genuine fossil. All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.
