Dinosaur Egg Museum Quality. This huge complete fully inflated unhatched Duckbill dinosaur egg is 70-80 million years old 7 x 6 inches and of museum quality with over 85 percent of its original shell intact. The egg is completely original and is mostly brown and gray in color with just some patches of reddish brown matrix peaking through. 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 7 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. This museum quality dino egg makes an excellent display having much more original egg shell than normally found and still standing on a small section of its reddish brown limestone matrix. Dinosaur eggs are becoming hard to locate and rising sharply in value.

Add $25 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $600 - 900.
