Huge Museum Quality Tyrannosaurus Egg. Huge 16 x 8 in. Tyrannosaurus bataar dinosaur egg. This is the best quality Tyrannosaurus egg available, with over 95% of the original shell present. The Raitite (bird-like markings), are clearly shown on the shell. This exquisitely detailed raised pattern is usually very worn on other specimens. The dark brown egg is somewhat flattened, a result nearly always encountered from the delicate egg being compressed from being buried and covered by tons of rock over time. Tyrannosaurus eggs are by far the largest and rarest of all dinosaur eggs. This is because Tyrannosaurus did not travel in herds like many other dinosaurs, and they laid their eggs in isolated areas. Tyrannosaurus bataar is a close cousin of the T-Rex of North America; however, no T-Rex egg has ever been found. A rare opportunity to acquire a museum quality Tyrannosaurus egg. Allow $60 for shipping.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.

 
Realized $2,760
