Description

Pyroraptor (meaning "fire thief") is an extinct genus of paravian dinosaur, probably a dromaeosaurid or unenlagiid, from the Late Cretaceous Ibero-Armorican island, of what is now southern France. It lived during the late Campanian and early Maastrichtian stages, approximately 72 million years ago. It is known from a single partial specimen that was found in Provence in 1992, after a forest fire. The animal was named Pyroraptor olympius by Allain and Taquet in 2000.

Here we present an extremely rare batch of small pieces of eggshell from this species of tiny dromaeosaurid raptor. Extremely rare to find nowadays. The characteristic surface structure is truly well-defined and beautiful. A rarity worthy of the most discerning collections.
