Titanosaurs were a diverse group of Sauropod Dinosaurs which were present about 136 to 66 million years ago. They were some of the heaviest creatures ever to walk the earth, but despite their huge body size, the eggs of Titanosaurus were relatively small in comparison. Females would dig holes with their back feet, lay around 25 eggs in the ‘nest’ then conceal them with a layer of dirt and vegetation for warmth and protection from predators!

Description

This listing features an authentic Titanosaur sp. fossil eggshell fragment from the Cretaceous Period (~145.5 to 65.5 million years ago), found in France. This fossil is a genuine remnant of one of the most extraordinary reproductive traces left behind by these prehistoric giants.

Titanosaurs were a widespread and diverse group of sauropod dinosaurs that lived from the Late Jurassic to the end of the Cretaceous. Known for their long necks, massive bodies, and global distribution, some titanosaurs grew to lengths exceeding 30 meters and were among the heaviest animals to ever walk the Earth.

Despite their immense size, Titanosaur eggs were relatively small, roughly the size of a modern-day melon. Fossilised nesting sites have been discovered containing dozens of eggs, often clustered together. Females would dig shallow nests, lay up to 25 eggs in a single clutch, and cover them with sediment and vegetation to protect and incubate them. This behaviour is remarkably similar to that of today’s reptiles.

Fossilised eggshells like this one provide crucial insights into dinosaur reproduction, development, and nesting behaviour. Their surface textures often exhibit tell-tale pitting and ridges, helping palaeontologists distinguish species and understand hatching processes.

This Titanosaur eggshell fragment is a scientifically significant and highly collectible piece, perfect for fossil enthusiasts, educators, or anyone fascinated by Earth’s deep biological history.

Miocene Information

The Miocene Epoch (23–5.3 million years ago) was a time of major climatic and ecological change, shaping many of today’s ecosystems. The climate was generally warmer and drier, but it gradually cooled as ice sheets expanded in Antarctica. This shift led to the spread of grasslands and savannas, replacing many ancient forests and driving the evolution of grazing mammals like early horses, antelope, and elephants. Ape species diversified, with some moving toward more ground-dwelling lifestyles, setting the stage for early hominins. Marine life thrived, with giant sharks like Megalodon ruling the oceans. The Miocene laid the foundation for modern ecosystems, with many plant and animal groups adapting to the drier, open landscapes that became dominant.
