- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Cretaceous Period, ca. 65.5 to 145.5 million years ago. Wow! A clutch of fossilized dinosaur eggs within a stone matrix from a species of ornithopod, three toed species of dinosaurs. The four eggs are rounded with pebbly surfaces, characteristic of hadrosaurids, a type of duck billed dinosaur. The eggs are made up of the mineral calcite which is visible here in several areas. The shells are surrounded by a red matrix of stone, the telltale sign of the Shandong Province rock beds where these types of eggs are most often found. Because eggs are often discovered with little evidence of the dinosaur that laid them, they are often named by the eggshell structures! Size: 16" L x 14" W x 7" H (40.6 cm x 35.6 cm x 17.8 cm)
Provenance: ex-A Coin Exchange, Tarzana, California, USA, acquired at the Tucson, Arizona, USA Mineral Show in January 2008
