Five-Egg Unhatched Hadrasaur Dinosaur Egg Nest. The five eggs in this partial dinosaur nest are still in the position on the red limestone matrix where they were deposited by the mother duckbill dinosaur 70-90 million years ago in the Henan Province of China. These large eggs measure between 6-6½" in diameter and contain 30% to 50% of their original shell. However, the eggs are fully inflated maintaining their original shape with only the top egg slightly crushed. Even where the shell is missing the imprint of the shell still remains. The eggs are a medium brown color and sit on a 15"x10" brownish red matrix. These eggs still retain their original surface. Even though the exact species of dinosaur cannot be determined from their eggs. The oval shape of these eggs has been determined to be from a duckbill dinosaur. One such hadrasaur dinosaur, Shantungosaurus, has been found in the Xixia Basin of China in the same general area as these dinosaur eggs. This five egg partial nest is aesthetically positioned on its natural limestone base making a dramatic display. Add $60 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500.
