Pair Of Oviraptor Eggs. This original pair of complete Oviraptor eggs is 70-80 million years old from Asia. These eggs were found in the Gobi desert and are 6 inches long x 2.5 inches wide and belong to a toothless birk-like dinosaur called Oviraptor. Oviraptors also had feathers like a bird. Oviraptor eggs are ratite in texture and have a very thin shell which is why they are rarely found complete. This average quality pair of eggs has good detail on their grayish brown shell and contain about 50% of their original shell with the usual cracks. The red limestone matrix has been removed from the bottom of the two eggs but is still visible between the eggs. Oviraptor eggs like all dinosaur eggs are becoming hard to locate and only become available when older existing collections are sold.
