It has a distinctive crest on its head. It was about 4 ft high and 6 ft long.

Largest Dinosaur Oviraptor Nest Ever

DESCRIPTION: The most rare of all dinosaurs eggs are from the top predators on the food chain. And the largest egg genus are those of Macroelongatoolithus.


Since first described in 1995 by Li, Yin, and Liu this huge egg type was often conjectured as having been laid by a Tarbosaur. The dinosaur species was originally described as Tyrannosaurus bataar by Maleev in 1955. Ten years later in 1965 Rozhdestvensky placed it in Tarbosaurus. Later still, Paul (1988) put it back into Tyrannosaurus, which was accepted by most, but not all. Hence the intermingling of the two names when discussing this dinosaur genus. These eggs were associated with Tarbosaurus / Tyrannosaurus solely because of their large size, shape, rarity, formation found, and the lack of another similar size/type dinosaur known in the same time / location as the eggs. Yet, there was no hard evidence to back up the conjecture because of a lack of preserved late-stage embryonic bones within this egg type (which itself is incredibly rare). Plus, the similarity with the much smaller oviraptor eggs made researchers hesitant to push the claim. Indeed, dinosaur egg expert Dr. Darla Zelenitsky had already asserted that this egg type is from an as-yet undiscovered type of giant oviraptor.

Then everything changed in mid 2007 with the announcement of "A Gigantic Bird-like Dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of China" just as Dr. Zelenitsky had predicted. ture. The paper describes the fossil remains of a huge dinosaur found in northern China that was as tall as the formidable Tyrannosaur. It would have been about 26 feet long, 16 feet tall, and weighed 3,000 pounds -- and was christened Gigantoraptor erlianensis.

This has not been x-rayed so we do not know if any of the eggs contain embryonic remains.

Locality: Nanyang, Hanan Provence, China
Age: Middle to Late Cretaceous
Basic Shell Type: Ornithoid
Egg Genus: Macroelongatoolithus (Longiteresoolithus parataxonomic family)
Egg Species: xixia
Dinosaur genus: Gigantoraptor (tentative)
Length: 32 inches
Width: 16 inches
Height: 7 inches
Weight: 259 pounds (approx)
Value: up to $12,000 per egg ($84,000 total) after preparation


SHIPPING OUTSIDE THE USA: Shipping will be door-to-airport by air freight, so you must either pick it up at the airport, or arrange delivery from the airport with the shipper. The cost for air freight will be $500 ~ $600 for most European and Asian destinations. For an exact quote please email me, and mention your closest major airport.

However, we cannot definitively say that these eggs were laid by this newly discovered dinosaur. Yet, the fit is better now and there is an air of inevitability that it will be proven once an egg with late-term embryo is found and prepared for study. What we do know for sure is that the egg species is Macroelongatoolithus xixia, amongst the rarest and most sought out of dinosaur eggs by museums, advanced collectors, and investors. The confusing naming convention stems from the fact that dinosaur eggs are classified by their own genus and species name based solely on shell structure and type, and is completely independent of the dinosaur species suspected of having laid it. This allows for categorizing and study of the many types of eggs without having to make tenuous links to a certain type of dinosaur -- which in most cases is impossible to do because of the rarity of fossilized bones within the shells.

This massive specimen weighs a back-breaking 259 pounds (estimated) and required a custom-made wood crate for transporting it. We have not prepared it since the new owner may be a museum or university who may wish to do the work themselves. However, we are pleased to undertake the commission if the winner desires, at a cost of $50 / hour for 40 ~ 80 hours.

This egg type is identical to that in which fossilized embryo "Baby Louie" was found and subsequently featured in the May 1996 edition of National Geographic. Early on, the fossil embryo was tentatively identified as a Therizinosaur.

Complete Unhatched 25 Egg Oviraptor Nest

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: This extremely rare fossil dinosaur egg specimen is from a meat-eating Oviraptor which lived in the late Cretaceous period circa 80 million years ago and was collected in Guangdong Province, China. This specimen is of the elongatoolithidae parataxonomic family and probably of the elongatoolithus species. The confusing naming convention stems from the fact that dinosaur eggs are classified by their own family and species based solely on shell structure and type, and is completely independent of the dinosaur species suspected of having laid it. This allows for categorizing and study of the many types of egg remains without having to make tenuous links to a particular dinosaur -- which in most cases is impossible to do because of the rarity of fossilized bones within the eggs.

The Oviraptor ("egg robber") was made known to the scientific community by Henry F. Osborn who reported on his 2050s expedition to Mongolia. He had found the crushed skull of an oviraptor on the top of a nest of what was thought to be a clutch of protoceratops eggs. Osborn theorized that the Oviraptor was killed by the protective protoceratops mother who caught the raptor in the act of stealing her eggs. It was only in 1993 when a team of researchers discovered a similar nest with a nearly intact mother Oviraptor fossilized in the act of caring for her nest that the egg type was correctly identified as Oviraptor, and that the Oviraptor discovered in 2050s was actually a caring parent defending her nest -- and not a thief stealing another's eggs.
