Spanish abstract Uma nova espécie de ovo de tartaruga fóssil foi estabelecida: Emydoolithus laiyangensis oogen. et oosp. nov. Esta possui forma elíptica, uma casca rígida e outras características da casca que diferem dos demais ovos fósseis de quelônios conhecidos, todos de forma arredondada. Trata-se da segunda espécie de ovo fóssil de quelônio encontrado no Cretáceo na China. Esta descoberta mostra que o ecossistema Laiyang no Cretáceo Superior é mais diversificado do que se pensava
English abstract A new type of turtle egg fossil was established: Emydoolithus laiyangensis oogen. et oosp. nov.. Based on its elliptical morphological shape, rigid eggshells, and eggshell characteristics, it is different from other types of round chelonian egg fossils. It is the second chelonian egg fossil found in Cretaceous in China. This discovery shows the Laiyang ecosystem in Late Cretaceous is more diversified than previously thought
