The small dinosaur eggs, discovered in 2021, ... The eggs date back more than 80 million years ago, making it a part of the Late Cretaceous period (66 to 100.5 million years ago).
Fossilized sauropod eggs displayed at Indroda Dinosaur and Fossil Park. Dinosaur eggs are the organic vessels in which a dinosaur embryo develops. When the first scientifically documented remains of non-avian dinosaurs were being described in England during the 1820s, it was presumed that dinosaurs had laid eggs because they were reptiles. [1]
Fossilized Dinosaur eggs displayed at Indroda Dinosaur and Fossil Park. This timeline of egg fossils research is a chronologically ordered list of important discoveries, controversies of interpretation, taxonomic revisions, and cultural portrayals of egg fossils. Humans have encountered egg fossils for thousands of years. In Stone Age Mongolia, local peoples fashioned fossil dinosaur eggshell ...
Baby Yingliang (YLSNHM01266) is a remarkably preserved dinosaur embryo discovered in Ganzhou, southern China. It was discovered in rock layers of the Hekou Formation, which dates to the Late Cretaceous. The embryo belongs to an oviraptorid theropod dinosaur, and the egg is classified as elongatoolithid.

A pair of Macroolithus eggs. Macroolithus eggs are characterized by large size, measuring 16 to 21 cm (6.3 to 8.3 in) long, and by their particularly coarse ornamentation. [1] [2] Their microstructure is not well defined in the literature, [1] but generally follows the typical elongatoolithid pattern: [2] The eggshell is arranged into two structural layers (the mammillary layer and the ...
Many ancient reptile groups are known from egg fossils including crocodilians, dinosaurs, and turtles. [3] Some ancient reptiles, like ichthyosaurs [8] and plesiosaurs [9] are known to have given live birth and are therefore not anticipated to have left behind egg fossils. Dinosaur eggs are among the most well known kind of fossil reptile eggs. [3]
Nipponoolithus rumosus is known only from a handful of isolated eggshell fragments ranging from 0.36 to 0.53 mm in thickness, just barely larger than a chicken egg. [1] [4] It is estimated, based on the eggshell thickness, that Nipponoolithus eggs weighed about 100 grams (3.5 oz), making it among the smallest fossil dinosaur eggs ever discovered.
