| M. S. Fernández and A. Khosla 2015 | Dinosauroid-spherulitic basic type, tubospherulitic morphotype, tubocanaliculate pore system (Mikhailov 1997). The ornamentation is compactituberculate. The accretion lines cross the boundary between shell units starting on the one-third of the inner of the eggshell thickness and sometimes continue to the external surface. Eggshell is composed of circular cones without clearly demarcated boundary lines; the shell units are partially fused. The shell units are fan shaped similar to the eggs of oofamily Megaloolithidae but it differ in the nature of the eggshell units in which they are partially fused. We found significant differences with Spheroolithidae too, because this oofamily has a different ornamentation pattern. |
