Dinosaur Eggs

Dinosaur Eggs refers to a variety of eggs laid by the mutated Dinosaurs that have overrun Earth. In Second Extinction, these eggs often play a role in missions and side-missions.

Raptor Eggs
Raptor Eggs are eggs that have been laid by the various types of Raptors, they can be found in nests scattered across the planet. They are fairly small in size and possess a bluish hue. A Carrier can fit four of them at a time. These eggs play a key role in the side-mission, where eight of them must be collected and sent back to Gateway Cygnus for study. These nesting sites are usually patrolled by at least one Raptor, and can become swarmed very quickly by protective Raptors if any eggs are removed from their nests.

T-Rex Eggs
T-Rex eggs are eggs that have been laid by a T-Rex, they are found within Rex nests inside caves which are guarded by a single Rex and several Raptors. They are much bigger than Raptor Eggs and possess a reddish and beige coloring. Their large size means that only one can fit in a single Carrier. T-Rex Eggs are a prominent part of the mission Vestige, in which several of them (the exact amount depends on the difficulty setting) must be collected from inside a Rex nest and sent back to Gateway Cygnus to be studied, similar to the Nesting Grounds side-mission.

Overmutated Eggs
Overmutated Eggs refers to a type of deep blue egg which is often covered in glowing light blue veiny cracks and growths of the sticky Dino goop often found in Dinosaur infested areas. They are relatively large in size, somewhat similar in scale to the T-Rex Eggs, and can be found scattered across the world. Due to their overmutation, the eggs are rendered infertile and unable to hatch. While they spawn passively, they are also part of the objectives of Contracts such as Pandora's Box. When destroyed, these eggs will often drop several Materials.

The Golden Egg
The Golden Egg is an elusive egg that, as its name would suggest, possess a golden coloration and is similar in size to the T-Rex eggs. This egg is the key item in the Treasure Seeker achievement. It will spawn in Lata Plains and drops a plethora of Materials when destroyed, as well as awarding the Treasure Seeker achievement upon first discovery.
