This is a fabulous grouping of Dinosaur eggs from the Cretaceous Period of China. These Hadrosaur eggs have been microscopically-prepared with an air-abrasive machine in the EXTINCTIONS Preparation Lab to reveal the fine detail of the eggshell. The eggshell is almost fully intact and covers most of the surface of three of the four eggs. The eggs are very inflated and are beautifully showcased on the large pedestal of matrix. The overall ''egg'' shape is great on all the eggs. Only one in a hundred dinosaur eggs ever found are of this high quality, and there are FOUR top quality eggs in this specimen. This is easily one of the best Hadrosaur dinosaur egg clusters we have ever offered.

Most ''duck-billed'' dinosaurs laid their eggs in nests of a dozen or more eggs. Usually, hatching and scavenging damaged the nests, obliterating any trace of the eggs that remained. Occasionally, some eggs survived predators and the elements, and eventually became fossils. Because of their delicate nature, intact eggs are very rare in the fossil record. Dinosaur eggs that retain their original shape and eggshell are some of the most collectible fossils in the world.

NOTE: China has now banned the export of fossils. This fossil was acquired long before the ban was put into effect.
