Oviraptorid Dinosaur Egg

An oviraptorid (Elongatoolithus) dinosaur egg.

Oviraptorids, small, feathered theropod dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous, roamed what is now Guanzhou Province, China. These agile, bird-like dinosaurs, characterized by parrot-like beaks and likely omnivorous diets, were closely related to early birds and known for their nurturing behavior, brooding eggs in carefully arranged nests. Their eggs were elongated, asymmetrical, and adorned with intricate surface ornamentation, such as linear ridges or nodular patterns.

This is a well preserved egg, with good eggshell coverage. It comes with a label detailing its name, age and location it was found.

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