Abstract

We describe here the ornithoid eggshell fragments from the Deccan intertrappesn beds (Late Cretaceous) near Anjar, district Kachchh, Gujarat. The find assumes palaeobiogeographic significance as morphologically similar eggshells are known from the Late Cretaceous Nemegt Formation of Mongolia. Taxonomic affinities (dinosaurian/avian) of these eggshells cannot be established at present.
