Brevicollis Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Hello, I saw this more macabre looking fossil for sale today, and wondered if its real or not... Its apparently a partial Oviraptor nest, with a partial parent still nesting on it Its from the Nanxiong formation, China. Is it real ? The egg seems a bit fishy to me, it has a weird texture Thanks ! My account and something about me : My still growing collection : My paleoart : I'm just a young guy who really loves fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trilobites_are_awesome Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I'm very suspicious about that egg! Personally I think its a fake egg mounted on some bones. Cheers! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemphix Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Bones seems to be real in my oppinion. The "egg" ? I'm in doubt about it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snolly50 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 The egg-shaped object has the appearance of (shape and color) an egg's infill of sediment. There seems to be no shell. This gray colored interior is often visible in eggs with partial shell from that locale. 1 1 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
