The largest egg from an extinct animal most likely would be from a dinosaur. However, only a few dinosaur eggs (about 4 as of 1996) have been identified with the type of dinosaur it came from. One dinosaur egg was 18 inches long, but rather thin. Here is a National Geographic site about dinosaur eggs.
