New type of dinosaur egg revealed at Shaanxi Museum of Natural History; the Chinese name translates literally as "Shangdan Heavy [Double] Wall Egg" and would correspond to Duovallumoolithus shangdanensis, described back in June. However, the elongated eggs shown in the main photo are clearly not specimens, which were in fact rounded oval in shape. (in Chinese)
