<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="dendroolithus-xichuanensis"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Dendroolithus xichuanensis is a dendroolithid dinosaur egg oöspecies from Xichuan, Henan Province, China, Late Cretaceous. Its eggshell microstructure exhibits the dendritic crystallites diagnostic for the family. Large clutch assemblages from this locality suggest titanosaur sauropods maintained communal nesting areas in Late Cretaceous floodplain environments.
Time Period
Dendroolithus xichuanensis lived during the Cretaceous Late period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 100.5 to 66.0 million years ago.
The final age of dinosaurs, featuring iconic species like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Velociraptor. Dinosaurs reached their peak diversity before the catastrophic asteroid impact at the Chicxulub crater ended the Mesozoic Era.
