Fossilised Dinosaur Egg PairCretaceous Period, circa 145-65 million years BP A section of a dinosaur nest, containing two large eggs, possibly Hadrosaur, from the Cretaceous Period. 6.4 kg, 27 cm. (10"). Ex Douglas Rose collection; ex Moussa Minerals with their note; apparently found China before 1960. Dinosaur eggs are known from about 200 sites around the world, the majority in Asia and mostly in terrestrial (non-marine) rocks of Cretaceous Age. It may be that thick calcite eggshells evolved during the Cretaceous (145 to 66 million years ago). Most dinosaur eggs have one of two forms of eggshell that are distinct from the shells of related modern animal groups, such as turtles or birds; however, some eggs closely resemble the type of shells seen in present day ostrich eggs.Very fine condition.Starting Price: £200

Robert Taylor (British, 20th Century). ‘Battle of Britain VC’ [James Nicolson winning his VC, 16th August 1940]. Colour print. Edition unspecified. Signed by the artist, lower right, and by numerous others to the margins. Overall 51cm x 61cm. Framed and glazed. Note (1): The VC of Flight Lieutenant James Brindley Nicolson, 249 Squadron, was gazetted on 15th November 1940: ‘During an engagement with the enemy near Southampton on 16th August 1940, Flight Lieutenant Nicolson’s aircraft was hit by four cannon shells, two of which wounded him whilst another set fire to the gravity tank. . When about to abandon his aircraft owing to flames in the cockpit he sighted an enemy fighter. This he attacked and shot down, although as a result of staying in his burning aircraft he sustained serious burns to his hands, face, neck and legs. Flight Lieutenant Nicolson has always displayed great enthusiasm for air fighting and this incident shows that he possesses courage and determination of a high order. By continuing to engage the enemy after he had been wounded and his aircraft set on fire, he displayed exceptional gallantry and disregard for the safety of his own life’. Nicolson later recalled: ‘I couldn’t see through my left eye for blood and my left heel was shattered. I remember shouting "I’ll teach you some manners, you Hun”‘. Note (2): The signatories to this print include Muriel Nicolson, widow of James; Eric Kightley, air gunner and one of only two survivors from the plane crash that killed James Nicolson in 1945; Eric Coleman, the Hampshire Police constable who took the injured Nicolson to Southampton Hospital in 1940; Air Commodore ‘Freddie’ West, VC; Captain Richard Annand, VC; Wing Commander Roderick Learoyd, VC; Flight Lieutenant Bill Reid, VC; Flight Lieutenant John Cruikshank, VC; Lieutenant Commander Ian Fraser, VC; Sir Roden Cutler, VC; Colonel Patrick Porteus, VC; Lieutenant Thomas Gould, VC; Captain Ganju Lama, VC; and many others.View on dnfa.com
