Dinosaur egg

The dinosaur egg is a stand-alone fossil that can be donated to the museum in all Animal Crossing series games to date.

Donation to the museum

In Animal Crossing

When the player presents the dinosaur egg to Blathers at the museum in Animal Crossing, they will receive the following dialogue.

"Hoo, I say! Hoo upon hoo! A fossilized egg! Eggcellent! I must apologize for that atrocious pun. So sorry. I just got carried away in my eggcitement, eh wot? Because this is a grade-A specimen. Hoo hoo hoo! Now, I hate to admit this, but I cannot identify the species of dinosaur that produced this particular egg. I can envision its hatching, though, and from the shards, a new life slowly emerging, a miracle of flesh and bone! Hoo, the wonder of it all! The drama. The spectacle! The ebb and flow! The grass and grit! Life, I say! Life! Hoo, mercy! Hoo my, indeed! I must apologize profusely. I...I was lost in the moment. My beak flaps on its own!"

In Wild World

When the player presents the dinosaur egg to Blathers at the museum in Wild World, Blathers will reply with the following dialogue.

"Utterly amazing, this is! What a perfect specimen! Figuring out what kind of egg this is might seem easy, but it's actually not. In fact, I must admit that I have no idea how to go about it, eh wot? Still, that very mystery is what's so fascinating about a dinosaur egg! Ah! Hoo. I'm awfully sorry. Inexplicable mysteries tend to set my beak blabbing."

In City Folk

When the player shows Blathers the dinosaur egg in City Folk, Blathers will reply with the following dialogue.

"Hoo, I say! Hoo upon hoo! A fossilized egg! Eggcellent! I must apologize for that atrocious pun. So sorry. I just got carried away in my eggcitement, eh wot? Because this is a grade-A specimen. Hoo hoo hoo! Now, I hate to admit this, but I cannot identify the species of dinosaur that produced this particular egg. I can envision its hatching, though, and from the shards, a new life slowly emerging, a miracle of flesh and bone! Hoo, the wonder of it all! The drama. The spectacle! The ebb and flow! The grass and grit! Life, I say! Life! Hoo, mercy! Hoomy, indeed! I must apologize profusely. I...I was lost in the moment. My beak flaps on its own!"

In Let's Go to the City

"Ah, hoo, how very lovely! A fine find, indeed! Depending on the type of dinosaur, these dinosaur eggs come in many sizes... The biggest could be up to 28 inches long, apparently! The biggest egg, I mean. But all the eggs do have similarities... Telling what sort of beastie laid the egg is difficult, wot wot?"

In New Leaf

In New Leaf, a plaque by the display offers information about the fossil instead of Blathers.

"Dinosaur eggs vary in size depending on the species, but larger ones can reach about a foot in length. If the egg was fossilized when it was just about to hatch, sometimes intact bones can be found inside. However, it is generally rather difficult to determine the exact species a fossilized egg belongs to."
