Gobipteryx isn't the only
Late Cretaceous Mongolian bird. Chatterjee mentions Gobipipus
reshetovi, a neornithine from the Barun Goyot Formation known from eggs
(with neognath eggshell) containing precocial embryos ready to
hatch.
Additionally,
there are enantiornithine eggs known from that formation.
