Sinopsis

This bookádocuments analyses of the Late Cretaceous dinosaur nesting sites of the Lameta Formation at Jabalpur, Districts Dhar and Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh, Districts Kheda and Panchmahal (Gujarat), and the Pisdura, Dongargaon and Pavna sectors in the Chandrapur Districts of Maharashtra, which are exposed in India along an east-west and centraláaxis.áIn this work, special emphasis has been given to the dinosaur nesting sites of the east-central Narbada River region, including its regional geology. Theáwork was undertaken to provide detailed information concerning dinosaur eggs, eggshell fragments, nests and clutches found in the Lameta Formation of peninsular India. Prior to the present work there had been no detailed review of systematic work on the taxonomy, and of micro- and ultrastructural studies of dinosaur eggs and eggshells from the Lameta Formation.áTheá study documents theá field and laboratory investigations that facilitated theáreconstruction ofátheámorphotaxonomy, models forátheáburial pattern ofáeggs and eggshells, taphonomic implications,and theápalaeoenvironmental context and palaeoecological conditions during theáLate Cretaceous atátheátime ofátheáextrusion ofátheáDeccan traps, which may have been partly responsible forátheáextinction ofátheádinosaurs. Theá need toáfollow a parataxonomic classification foráIndian dinosaur eggs and eggshell types is very apparent, and this book addresses this aspect in some detail. Theáemphasis onátheáapplication ofáparataxonomic schemes is based onátheádescription ofánew oospecies and their comparison withápreviously known forms. Theá present work has led toátheárecovery ofánumerous nests, many collapsed eggs and hundreds ofádinosaur eggshell fragments fromátheálocalities situated near theáeast, west and central Narbada River regions. It will be ofáinterest toáacademics and professional palaeontologists, and all students ofádinosaurs.
