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), dated to the Late Cretaceous (Campanian–Maastrichtian, about 83–66 million years ago).
Dimensions: Length 22 cm, width about 9 cm
Conservation: The shell has been stabilized with cyanoacrylate; the surface has been treated with a thin layer of transparent acrylic to compensate for the darkening caused by sandblasting.

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