Three Egg Partial Dinosaur Nest. These three large complete inflated unhatched Duckbill dinosaur eggs come from a collection put together over 15 years ago and are 70-80 million years old. These large 6-6.5 inches in diameter are of museum quality with two of the eggs having 75- 85 percent of their original shell intact. The Third egg has about 50% original shell. These eggs are completely original with grayish brown fossilized eggshell nicely contrasting the original 12X9 inch red brown matrix typical of the dinosaur eggs found in Northeast Asia. We do not know what Duckbill species these eggs belong to 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), they probably belong to one of the larger duckbill dinosaurs also known as Hadrosaurs. These museum quality dino eggs make an excellent display having much more original egg shell than normally found and resting on the original reddish brown limestone matrix. Dinosaur eggs are becoming hard to locate and rising sharply in value especially for original unrestored eggs.
Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,500.
