Therizinosaur Dinosaur Egg. This rare dinosaur egg is very distinctive in being from the rare and poorly understood class of dinosaurs known as Therizinosaurs. Therizinosaurs were some of the strangest looking dinosaurs having some features of a plant eating dinosaur and some features of a theropod dinosaur. They had a small skull on a long neck with a large gut which resembled a plant eating dinosaur, but also were bipedal, had filamentous feathers, and extremely large hand claws up to three feet long in the largest species, like a theropod dinosaur.
Therizinosaur eggs come in various sizes depending on what species deposited the eggs. between 80-90 million years ago in Asia.
