Rare Toodon Dinosaur Egg. Troodon was a small predatory dinosaur, about 6' long, with long slender limbs and the largest brain for a dinosaur its size. This 2" long 1½" wide, dark brown Troodon egg is 70-80 million years old and hails from the Gobi desert in Asia. This rare Troodon egg has just over 70% of its original shell, a loss typical of these remarkably thin eggshells which, at just 1mm thick, do not preserve very well. Troodon eggs are hundreds of times rarer than hadrosaur eggs, because Troodon was a theropod dinosaur, laying its eggs in individual nests rather than groups. Estimate Value $700 - 900
