Ageroolithus

Ageroolithus is an oospecies (egg fossil genus) from the Late Cretaceous of Spain. These dinosaur eggs are assigned to the oofamily Megaloolithidae, attributed to titanosaurian sauropods. Fossil egg sites in Catalonia have yielded thousands of sauropod eggs, providing unique data on nesting behavior, clutch size, and reproductive strategies of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs.
