Oviraptorid Dinosaur Egg

A partial oviraptorid (Elongatoolithus) dinosaur egg from the Nanxiong Formation.

Oviraptorids, small, feathered theropod dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous, once 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.

While incomplete, this is a sizeable portion of egg, featuring some good eggshell coverage and is still partially embedded in matrix. This is a very affordable way to purchase a real dinosaur egg! 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.

Condition: Partial | Size: 2.88 inch (not including surrounding matrix) | Age: 67 Million Years | Found: Ganzhou Province, China (Nanxiong Formation)
