Titanosaurus eggshell (ca. 2,5 cm)
Very well-preserved egg shell fragment.
Age: Cretaceous
Region of discovery: Argentinien
Size: 2,5 cm
Dinosaured differed from other extant reptiles by virtue of having hard, calcified egg shells that not only served as an improved protective measure but also were more easily preserved. Despite being the largest creatures to ever roam the earth, Titanosaur eggs were relatively small (just about the size of a football). The juveniles had to experience massive growth spurts and at times double their size in less than a year.
The picture is exemplary. You will receive a piece of comparable quality.
The colors on the pictures may differ slightly from the original due to technical reasons.
