It requires G mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Dinosaur Egg's mana cost of {1}{G} means you need to pay that much mana from your lands or other sources.

Converted mana cost (now officially called "mana value") is the total amount of mana in a card's mana cost, regardless of color.
Dinosaur Egg has a mana value of 2.0. This is important for effects that care about a spell's total cost, like cascade or cards that say "mana value 3 or less."
