AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Dinosaur fossil egg from the Heyuan/Nanxiong area (Guangdong Province, China), attributed to the Nanxiong Group (Zhutian/Dafeng Formations), dating to the Late Cretaceous (Campanian–Maastrichtian, approximately 83–66 million years ago).
• Dimensions: length 22 cm, width approximately 9 cm
• Conservation: shell stabilized with cyanoacrylate; the surface has been treated with a thin layer of transparent acrylic to compensate for the darkening caused by sandblasting cleaning.

An original egg from the same nest has undergone X-ray and computed tomography to confirm authenticity. A well-preserved specimen, ideal for enriching a prestigious fossil collection.

Important Note: We do not ship outside the European Union.
