Genuine Hadrosaurid Dinosaur Egg 60 100 Million Years Old
This Hadrosaurid egg comes out of China, as many Hadrosaurid eggs do. This fossil was held in storage for quite a long time and has only been recently rediscovered. As many pictures as possible are provided because many fossils that come out of china are fake or restored. This fossil is authentic, there are clear cracks, separation of the shell from the inside of the egg, and a rough flawed surface. If you need a closer look at any part of the fossil please let me know and I will do the best I can.
With China's ban on fossil exports these specimens will only become more scarce. Don't miss out on this opportunity to add this amazing dinosaur egg to your collection before they are all bought up! The egg measures 17 1/2" around and 5" tall including the matrix.
The egg weighs 3601.4g. Hadrosaurids, or duck-billed dinosaurs, are members of the ornithischian family Hadrosauridae. This group is known as the duck-billed dinosaurs for the flat duck-bill appearance of the bones in their snouts. The family, which includes ornithopods such as Edmontosaurus and Parasaurolophus, was a common herbivore in the Upper Cretaceous Period of what is now Asia, Europe, Antarctica, South America, and North America.[1] Hadrosaurids are descendants of the Upper Jurassic/Lower Cretaceous iguanodontian dinosaurs and had a similar body layout. Like the rest of the ornithischians, these animals had a predentary bone and a pubic bone which was positioned backwards in the pelvis. Hadrosaurids are divided into two principal subfamilies: the lambeosaurines (Lambeosaurinae), which had hollow cranial crests or tubes, and the saurolophines, identified as hadrosaurines in most pre-2010 works (Saurolophinae or Hadrosaurinae), which lacked hollow cranial crests (solid crests were present in some forms).
Saurolophines tended to be bulkier than lambeosaurines. Lambeosaurines included the aralosaurins, tsintaosaurins, lambeosaurins and parasaurolophins, while saurolophines included the brachylophosaurins, kritosaurins, saurolophins and edmontosaurins.
