Abstract:
The Cretaceous red beds in the Xixia Basin of southwestern Henan contain abundant dinosaurian eggs. But their age determination has been hampered by the limited fossil evidence. Now we have recovered invertebrate fossils, such as bivalves, conchostracans, gastropods and ostracodes, in the dinosaurian egg-bearing strata. This discovery indicates the fossil bearing horizon may be middle Late Cretaceous in age.
