Maiasaura Toe Claw and Oviraptorid Egg Crate

Own a cast of a juvenile Maiasaura ~2.5" toe claw! This blunt claw ended in a thick toenail that may have resembled a hoof.  It is slightly curved on its bottom surface which may have helped it accelerate faster, acting like a cleat.

The ~8" oviraptorid egg's layer is unknown.  It is possible it was Oviraptor, or maybe Citipati, or another oviraptorid.  What we do know is it is absolutely amazing to behold.  

Maiasaura, the "good mother lizard", are believed to have raised their young based on the following evidence:

• Numerous nests were found in what appears to be a colony as each was roughly the distance of an adult Maiasaura apart
• Eggshells within the nest were trampled suggesting the juveniles stayed in the nest for a long time
  
• Juvenile skeletons in the nest were larger than what would have been expected had they been left to fend for themselves
