This book documents 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 central axis. In this work, special emphasis
has been given to the dinosaur nesting sites of the east-central
Narbada River region, including its regional geology. The work 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. The study documents the field and
laboratory investigations that facilitated the reconstruction of
the morphotaxonomy, models for the burial pattern of eggs and
eggshells, taphonomic implications,and the palaeoenvironmental
context and palaeoecological conditions during the Late Cretaceous
at the time of the extrusion of the Deccan traps, which may have
been partly responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. The
need to follow a parataxonomic classification for Indian dinosaur
eggs and eggshell types is very apparent, and this book addresses
this aspect in some detail. The emphasis on the application of
parataxonomic schemes is based on the description of new oospecies
and their comparison with previously known forms. The present work
has led to the recovery of numerous nests, many collapsed eggs and
hundreds of dinosaur eggshell fragments from the localities
situated near the east, west and central Narbada River regions. It
will be of interest to academics and professional palaeontologists,
and all students of dinosaurs.
