Ovaloolithus chinkangkouensis

† Ovaloolithus chinkangkouensis is an oogenus from Late Cretaceous China and Mongolia. These smooth-shelled ellipsoidal dinosaur eggs contribute to understanding nest site ecology of Cretaceous dinosaurs in East Asia.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Ovaloolithus chinkangkouensis was a plant-eating dinosaur. Herbivores typically fed on ferns, cycads, conifers, and other vegetation available during their era. Many herbivorous dinosaurs developed specialized teeth and digestive systems for processing tough plant material.

Time Period

Cretaceous Late Mesozoic Era

Ovaloolithus chinkangkouensis 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.
