Elongatoolithus subtitectorius

† Elongatoolithus subtitectorius is an oospecies of Late Cretaceous oviraptorosaurian eggs from Mongolia, its species name subtitectorius ('below the roof') possibly referencing the eggshell microstructure or the depositional context of the clutches. A small to medium elongatoolithid egg, it contributes to the diversity of oviraptorosaur nesting strategies documented from the Cretaceous Gobi. Its attribution to a specific skeletal oviraptorid species remains unresolved.
