Abstract
The trace elements and isotopic compositions of macroelongatoolithid eggshells provide insights into the palaeoenvironment of these huge eggs preservation. We analysed the geochemical characteristics of newly discovered macroelongatoolithid eggs from the early Cretaceous Zhaoying Formation in the Xixia Basin, Henan Province, China. X-ray diffraction results reveal that the minerals of these eggs are predominately composed of calcite. The major...
