Dinosaur Three Egg Partial Nest. These three large complete unhatched Duckbill dinosaur eggs are 70-80 million years old 6-6.5 inches in diameter and of museum quality with 75- 90 percent of their original shell intact. These eggs are completely original with grayish and brown fossilized eggshell nicely contrasting the original red brown matrix. We do not know what Duckbill species these eggs
belong to as no embryonic bones have every been found in the Duckbill dinosaur eggs, but being the largest Duckbill egg at a gigantic 6.5 inches in length (most eggs being 5-5.5 inches long), they might belong to the huge Duckbill dinosaur Shantungosaurus which reached more than 50 feet in length and has been found in the same area in the Henan Province of China. These museum quality dino eggs make an excellent display having much more original egg shell than normally found and resting on the original reddish brown limestone matrix.
Dinosaur eggs are becoming hard to locate and rising sharply in value.

Add $40 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
