Note: GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This legally imported genuine fossil dinosaur egg specimen is thought to be
from a
Hadrosaurid dinosaur, and possibly the
Saurolophus species. It is from the Late Cretaceous period, roughly 84 to
71 million years ago, and was collected in the Xixia Basin,
Henan
Province, China. This specimen is most likely of the Dendroolithidae
parataxonomic family and possibly of the Dendroolithus species. The confusing
naming convention stems from the fact that dinosaur eggs are classified by
their own genus and species name based solely on shell structure and type, and
is completely independent of the dinosaur species suspected of having laid it.
This allows for categorizing and study of the many types of eggs without
having to make tenuous links to a certain type of dinosaur -- which in most
cases is nearly impossible to do because of the rarity of fossilized bones
within the shells. However, this egg type is widely assumed to be from a
Hadrosaurid based on comparisons with similar shell fragments, fossilized
embryos, and hatchlings found collectively at other dinosaur nesting sites
throughout the globe. This specimen has not been examined to see if there are
bones inside, but that is unlikely since none have ever been found in
Hadrosaurid eggs from this region. And even if it contained embryonic bones,
it would take an expert many months to dissolve away the rocky interior to
reveal the delicate bones, and at considerable cost. So just enjoy it from the
outside and let the tantalizing thought of possible bones inside keep your
imagination afire. Like most Chinese dinosaur eggs, specimen preparation
includes shell stabilization with a binding agent to prevent flaking off from
the underlying rock and/or matrix patching or enhancement to ensure a
beautiful and stable display
Hadrosaur (meaning "Bulky Lizard") was a large duck billed dinosaur 23-32 feet ling. It was a bipedal dinosaur with a large brain and a wide and flat snout with strong large hind legs and short but strong front legs with hoof-like claws. It had a muscular tail that may have served as a swimming paddle. It was a vegetarian and moved quadrupedally when feeding. It was highly social and nested communally. It dates back to the cretaceous period (65-145 million yrs) and it was found in the, "Kaugo" formation in the, Xixia basin, Henan province, China.
