Dinosaur Egg Duckbill. This large complete unhatched Duckbill dinosaur egg is 70-80 million years old, 6.5 x 5 inches, and is unprepped with 50 percent of its original shell intact or perhaps a little more. It is difficult to tell how much shell is still below the reddish brown matrix which is almost the same color as the original shell. The egg has been completely removed from the underlying matrix which is unusual and contains some original shell on both the top and bottom. We do not know to what Duckbill species this egg belongs 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) it 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. Dinosaur eggs are becoming hard to locate and rising sharply in value and this average quality egg should be an excellent value.
