Long-term fidelity of megaoolithid dinosaurs to a large breeding-ground in the Upper Cretaceous of Aix-en-Provence (southern France).Géraldine Garcia, Yves Dutour, Isabellle Cojan, Xavier Valentin and Gilles CheylanKeywords: Large nesting ground; megaloolithid eggs; Southern France; Upper CretaceousCite this article: Garcia G., Dutour Y., Cojan I., Valentin X., Cheylan G., 2003. Long-term fidelity of megaoolithid dinosaurs to a large breeding-ground in the Upper Cretaceous of Aix-en-Provence (southern France). Palaeovertebrata 32 (2-4): 109-120. AbstractWe present here the preliminary results from a new nesting site "Sextius-Mirabeau", discovered close to the historical centre of Aix-en-Provence in Upper Cretaceous deposits. This extensive megaloolithid nesting ground, the first large scale excavation (3225 m²) in France, yielded more than 530 eggs, some organized in clusters. Their study reveals the reproductive strategy of the megaloolithid egglayer group which indicates nesting fidelity and gregarious behaviour. Published in Vol. 32, Fasc. 2-4 (2003) |
