What does this mean?

Unauthenticated Dinosaur Egg Fossil
Excavated in Santa Cruz Mountain Range, California, US
Unknown age

The general shape and appearance of a Dinosaur egg fossil, of an unknown period or species. Appears to have a thin layer of residual matrix on the shell. However; this can also occur in geologic concretions or chert nodules found in limestone deposits. More specific information as to it's collection information, exactly where it was found, and in what surrounding matrix will assist in identifying age and if the specimen is geologic or biologic in development. 8" x 5", 5 lbs. 3oz weight with additional fragments at 7oz.

“The Fossil Forum” is open to research and asking questions on fossils; the link will open to their dinosaur egg guide. While posing a question on the form is open to all responses; many are well researched and provide additional peer reviewed articles. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/92371-advanced-dinosaur-egg-guide/

In person authentication, age, and origin will affect the possible value of these specimens. Researching current auction price results of Dinosaur Egg Fossils; the expected fair market value would be in the range of 200 to 500 USD. This would be if you were to sell the two specimens together. With an in-person authentication to verify the specimens: a FMV of 500 to 1000 USD could be achieved. It is important to recognize local, state, and US federal laws and prohibitions of sale and shipment of Fossils and Paleontology items.
