Hadrosaur / Oviraptor Egg Fossil (Single) – Late Cretaceous Dinosaur Relic

Hadrosaur Egg Fossil (Single) – Rare Late Cretaceous Dinosaur Relic

This fossilized egg comes from the Late Cretaceous period and belonged to the herbivorous Hadrosauridae family. Nearly spherical in shape, it features a thick shell with natural sediment and mineralized textures, preserved over tens of millions of years.

Unlike Oviraptor eggs, hadrosaur eggs were typically placed upright in nests, so a single specimen retains an almost vertical posture no matter which angle it’s viewed from. This structure helped the egg remain intact in the sediment, making such specimens highly uncommon on the market.

📍 Locality: East Asia
📅 Age: Late Cretaceous (Approx. 66–72 million years ago)
🪨 Features: Nearly spherical shape, clear shell texture, natural sediment retention

Oviraptor Egg Fossil (Single) – Relic of a Cretaceous Predator

This egg fossil belonged to the Oviraptoridae, a group of small to medium-sized carnivorous dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous. Oviraptor eggs are typically elongated oval in shape, with fine radial and longitudinal surface textures, light yet strong in structure.

Unlike hadrosaur eggs, Oviraptor eggs were laid horizontally in nests, a distinctive feature of their incubation behavior. Single egg specimens are rare in the market, especially those with well-preserved shell textures and natural mineralization.
