Mined from: Ganzhou Basin, Jiangxi Province, China

Era: Late Cretaceous.
Geological Age:  65-71.4 mya

Description: This one of a kind Hadrosaur egg fossil specimen from Ganzhou, China preserves a broken section of the egg, showing the dark outer shell against the reddish sediment that filled and surrounded it during burial. The visible cross-section gives it strong display value, showing both the shape of the egg and the natural matrix that helped preserve it. Rather than being a polished or reconstructed piece, this specimen has a more geological look, the shell fragments, infill, and surrounding rock all still readable as part of the fossil.

Ganzhou is one of China’s best-known dinosaur egg localities, and hadrosauroid eggs from this region have been studied from Upper Cretaceous deposits in the Ganzhou Basin. These finds are important because they help document nesting activity and early development in duck-billed dinosaurs near the end of the age of dinosaurs. Hadrosaurs were herbivorous ornithopods, and egg material from this region contributes to the broader picture of dinosaur reproduction in Late Cretaceous Asia.
