Bauruoolithus

[1] Bauroolithus eggs are elongated, with a width measuring about half that of its height.

The eggshell is divided into wedge-shaped shell units, which are pieces of calcareous aggregate.

The eggs of living crocodylians undergo degradation over their incubation period so that hatchlings can easily break through the shells.

Some fossils of Bauroolithus in Brazil are most likely from eggs that already hatched, but none show any signs of extensive degradation.

This suggests that hatchlings broke through egg shells that were so thin that degradation was not necessary.
