Ovaloolithidae

† Ovaloolithidae is a family of dinosaur egg oospecies from Early Cretaceous Korea and related strata. These ellipsoidal eggs with smooth shell texture and compact mammillary layer are attributed to ornithopod or sauropod dinosaurs.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Ovaloolithidae 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 Early Mesozoic Era

Ovaloolithidae lived during the Cretaceous Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 145,0 to 100,5 million years ago.

The Cretaceous saw continued dinosaur evolution with the rise of ornithopods and early ceratopsians. Flowering plants first appeared and began to transform terrestrial ecosystems. Spinosaurus and other large theropods lived during this time.
