Titanosaurs are a group of Long Neck Dinosaurs, aka Sauropods. They are not only the largest of all dinosaurs, but the largest of all animals to ever walk on land! The largest Titanosaurs could reach lengths of over 120 feet and nearly 80 tons, rivaling large whales in size! Like other long neck dinosaurs they were herbivores, stripping leaves with their peg like teeth. Argentina has a large variety of Titanosaur fossils including the gargantuan Argentinosaurus and large clutches of fossil eggs! These eggs are believed to be from Saltasaurus, a small Titanosaur about 28 feet long and 2.8 tons. To make up for its (relative) lack of size, Saltasaurus had small, boney plates called osteoderms embedded in its skin as armor!
Egg fossils are among the rarest type of dinosaur fossil, and with fossil exports banned from Argentina their infamous egg fossils are getting harder and harder to come by. A great opportunity to own a unique and increasingly rare piece of paleontology from an iconic group of dinosaurs at a price that won't break the bank!
All of my items come with a Certificate of Authenticity!
