- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $900**
Eastern Asia, China, Henan Province, late Cretaceous, ca. 100 to 65 million years ago. A well-preserved fossilized egg from the hadrosauridae family, with the eggshell texture nicely preserved, with a cracked surface that is the result of the deposition process. Hadrosaurids are also known as the duck-billed dinosaur. Size: 6.25" L x 4.875" W x 4.6" H (15.9 cm x 12.4 cm x 11.7 cm).
In the past few decades, paleontological research in China has rewritten our knowledge of dinosaurs, especially the later Cretaceous period, which was previously known mainly from western North America. Incredible finds of fossilized skeletal remains, eggs, nests, footprints, and related non-dinosaur animals and plants have given us a new understanding of how dinosaurs lived - and how they parented. These animals seem to have been devoted parents, nurturing their children from eggs through childhood.
Provenance: ex-A Coin Exchange, Tarzana, California, USA, acquired at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show in 2008
