Thank you for the Deeming's paper !

Very interesting results! Thus, the eggs from Momma nest are the same in porosity 

and condactivity as all the other elongatoolithid eggs described earlier.

And Oviraptor may be set in a position of a chiken, but on the soil pile, 

not on the eggs! This only again show how hasty and advertising

are the conclusions being made by the Norrel et all. company. Just to make

quick sensantion.

I did not see the article of Charles Deeming about the oviraptorid (Momma) eggs. Is there any possibility 

to reed it as PDF or in other digital form?

(take into account, that the same eggs as the eggs of Oviraptor (Momma), were found in a great number in the

different localities of the Gobi Desert (both Mongolia and China) and have been described (structure) and calculated (porosity - the papers  of Karol Sabath, Warsaw) many times and also were formerly described as the oospecies of Elongatoolithus. One problem is that similar in shape (but with different eggshell structure!) protoceratopsid eggs 

were found in the same localities (as well as the skeletons of protoceraposes, bagaceratopses and 

other ceratopsids - see the articles of Vladimir Alifanov) but the crew of American paleontologists

(who diggerd Momma) can't recognise these two differnt types of eggs and the difference in their eggshell 

structure and refer in their papers to both types of eggs to the same eggs. 

Finally, the models of incubation for theropods, protoceratopsids, sauropods, hadrosaurs,

were discussed in literature many times (and in most detail by Karol Sabath).

Hi everybody,

3rd International.Congress on Dinosaur Eggs and Babies took placed
some months ago in Argentina...

Does anybony knows what happened? Any publications etc...

I did not see the article of Charles Deeming about the oviraptorid (Momma) eggs. Is there any possibility 

to reed it as PDF or in other digital form?

(take into account, that the same eggs as the eggs of Oviraptor (Momma), were found in a great number in the

different localities of the Gobi Desert (both Mongolia and China) and have been described (structure) and calculated (porosity - the papers  of Karol Sabath, Warsaw) many times and also were formerly described as the oospecies of Elongatoolithus. One problem is that similar in shape (but with different eggshell structure!) protoceratopsid eggs 

were found in the same localities (as well as the skeletons of protoceraposes, bagaceratopses and 

other ceratopsids - see the articles of Vladimir Alifanov) but the crew of American paleontologists

(who diggerd Momma) can't recognise these two differnt types of eggs and the difference in their eggshell 

structure and refer in their papers to both types of eggs to the same eggs. 

Finally, the models of incubation for theropods, protoceratopsids, sauropods, hadrosaurs,

were discussed in literature many times (and in most detail by Karol Sabath).

I don't do proof in my science!  Some refutation here
and there combined with a bit of guessing.  I've never
seen much of what I'd call proof in natural science,
and would dispute its existence.

I don't think it would be very easy to lay those eggs
diagonally as they appear in the fossil.  I think they
were laid vertiaclly and became tilted over, possibly
during or after fossilisation.

The opposite is hard to imagine.  That's evidence.
There is only circumstantial evidence in natural
science.

I uspect they were fed by their parents.  What could
they eat otherwise?

Perhaps.  But some lived way polar of the subtropics.

Do ostrich eggs require brooding?  I mean all of them?
  I know the ones near the edge die but I find it hard
to imagine that the ones that survive all get warmed
overnight by the parent.

Hello droogies -

A few weeks ago I asked if anyone had any comments on
Charles Deemings judgement of oviraptor eggs, with
their large pores, being habitually buriedm but no
answer.  I think their elongated shape may be
correlated with being buried near the surface, whereas
perhaps more "obovoid" shapes might mean deep burial
or no burial. 

A glance at the layout of the Big Momma nest
http://www.stonecompany.com/dinoeggs/study/detectives/images/amnh%20big%20mama.jpg
seems to me to leave a fair possibility that the eggs
were shallowly buried, with some of the shell very
near or above the surface.

Sauropod eggs are always rounder aren't they?  Maybe
this would be best for them since they probably didn't
have very dextrous egg manipulation capabilities, and
"near the surface" would have been more tricky for
them than deep or no burial.

If sauropod eggs were not buried deeply, and
presumably not incubated, does this mean they must
have developed in warm conditions?  I wonder how many
sauropods have been found in colder climes.  I suppose
it's possible they just piled a few leaves on top!

Cheers,

John J.

Thank you Alvaro for the information.

I have a PDF copy for those interested in the publication.

Simon J. Clarke, Gifford H. Miller, Marilyn L. Fogel, Allan R. Chivas
& Colin V. Murray-Wallace. 2006. The amino acid and stable isotope
biogeochemistry of elephant bird (Aepyornis) eggshells from southern
Madagascar. Quaternary Science Reviews, 25(17-18):2343-2356.

I will be updating the website when I will be back from my field
work...Keep on sending me publications missing from the list and
reminding me to incorporate them!

I hope you have had a nice summer!

Yes - Happy hunting!

Charles Deeming's paper suggests that the dino eggs
he's summarised (many types) are, with the possible
exception of some troodont ones, all definitely of the
buried-incubation type...

...even the brooding ovi-thing eggs!  Is it possible
the ovi was carefully standing amongst the eggs as it
seemed to be, without squashing them, but the eggs
were also buried?

Cheers,

John J.

Charles Deeming has published a number of interesting
papers that I don't think have yet got onto our list
of publications.

One of which:
DEEMING, D. C. "ULTRASTRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL
MORPHOLOGY OF EGGSHELLS SUPPORTS THE IDEA
THAT DINOSAUR EGGS WERE INCUBATED BURIED
IN A SUBSTRATE"  Palaeontology, Vol. 49, Part 1, 2006,
pp. 171–185

...is to be found at:
http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1475-4983.2005.00536.x?cookieSet=1

...and others are referenced there.

Cheers,
