Hello, I bought these eggshell pieces which are megaloolithus type according to the seller. Unfortunately, their origin isn't mentioned, most of these eggshell pieces I saw are allegedly Titanosaurus or Saltasaurus from France or Argentina. Does anyone have any further information on these? Based on the below topics the brown eggshell piece is from France (compared to the eggshell pieces of the collection). But I'm not sure about the black/white piece. It is also much thicker than the brown one. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Paper just released that describes the dorsal vertebrae in detail of the titanosaur Dreadnoughtus schrani from Argentina that was described in 2014. If you ever wanted to know what the different areas of a dorsal vertebra were called this gives you more than you ever need. It also gives you relative position in the vertebral column. You will be tested on the pronunciation and spelling of these words Check the scale bar it's 50 cm (appox 20 inches) Complete dorsal vertebrae are very rare especially this well preserved. This discovery gives paleontologist an opportunity to use these specimens to compare against other taxons. It also gives them a better understanding of their position in the sketal structure. https://www.app.pan.pl/article/item/app003912017.html Osteology of the dorsal vertebrae of the giant titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur Dreadnoughtus schrani from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina Kristyn K.
