| 描述 鴨嘴龍雙蛋化石可以追溯到115m至95m年前的白堊紀，發現於中國湖南省西峽盆地，那裡發現了許多築巢地。 鴨嘴龍科因牠們頭部類似現代鴨子的頭而著名。有些物種（如著名的大鴨龍）的頭顱前部呈平坦、寬廣狀的喙狀嘴，適合撕下亞洲、歐洲、北美洲等地森林的樹葉與樹枝。嘴部後方的數百個牙齒適合壓碎吞下的食物。鴨嘴龍科恐龍能生長到40英尺長，重達5噸。 尺寸：32cm x 17cm 左側的蛋：14cm x 14cm 右側的蛋：15cm x 15cm | Description A terrific double egg fossil from the Duckbilled Dinosaur, or Hadrosaur, Edmontosaurus. The eggs date from the Cretaceous, 115m to 95m years ago, and were discovered in Xixia Basin, Hunan Province, China, where many multiple nests have been found. They were called “Duckbilled” because of the shape of their snout, which greatly resembled the bill of a modern day duck. Edmontosaurus was a herbivore and travelled in herds alongside its companions. They ate coarse vegetation which they ground up using teeth within their cheeks. Hadrosaurs grew to be over 40 feet long, and weighed in at a hefty 5 tons. This is a wonderful double specimen of the eggs of this huge creature, in great condition. The shells show some cracks which occured during fossilisation. They show a terrific dark patina. A beautiful display piece, and a real talking point for friends and family. Size: 32cm x 17cm Egg on left: 14cm x 14cm Egg on right: 15cm x 15cm |
