Here is a nice raptor egg from China. Raptor eggs are extremely rare in the fossil record. This egg is from the dinosaur, Oviraptor sp. from the Cretaceous. The general shape of the inflated egg is nicely displayed. A portion of the original, corrugated, black eggshell is intact, mostly around the sides of the egg. The ovate egg rests comfortably on the natural block of matrix. This is a very affordable example of a large raptor egg from the Cretaceous of China.
A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
