Paleobiological, taphonomical and paleoenvironmental aspects of Indian Cretaceous sauropod nesting sites.

Data on one aspect of sauropod paleobiology, namely that related to nesting preferences and behavior, has been obtained based on recent studies of extensively preserved nesting sites in the Late Cretaceous Lameta Formation occurring across central peninsular India in discontinuous patches related to outcrop. Sauropod eggshell microstructure based on thin-sections and electron microscopy suggests t…
