英文摘要	Abundant dinosaur eggs and clutches have been found from the Cretaceous non-marine deposits of Korea. They occur in several stratigraphic formations including the Hasandong Formation at Hadong, the Seonso Conglomerate at Boseong, the Shiwha Formation at Hwaseong, the Goseong Formation at Goseong, the Haman Formation at Shinsudo of Sacheon, the Dadaepo Formation at Busan and the Geumnaeri Formation at Gurye. Most of the egg-bearing formations are the Late Cretaceous except the Early Cretaceous Hasandong and Shiwha formations. The dinosaur eggs usually occur as clutches in purple sandy mudstone of floodplain deposits associated with fluvial plain and alluvial fan deposits. The preservation of these dinosaur eggs in calcic and vertic paleosols suggests that the palaeoclimate of the nested areas were semi-arid with alternation of wetting and drying periods. Mostly, the eggs are top-broken and filled with surrounding sediments, while some eggs at Boseong site show geoid-fill. In South Korea, a total of 52 clutches containing 390 dinosaur eggs were found and excavated until now. The clutches contain from 3 to 16 eggs. The eggs have spherical to subspherical and ellipsoidal shapes showing range from 69-180 mm in diameter. The thickness of eggshells ranges from 0.58 mm to 4.90 mm. The surface of eggshell varies from linearituberculate to dispersituberculate ornaments. Five taxonomic families (Faveoloolithidae, Spheroolithidae, Dendrooolithidae, Ovalootithidae and Elongatoolithidae) are identified from the Korean dinosaur eggs. The eggs appear to have closest ootaxonomic affinities with those from the Xixia Basin of Henan Province, and Hunan, Hubei, Shandong areas in China and the Nemegt Basin in Gobi Desert of Mongolia. More ootaxonomic comparison with Central Asian dinosaur eggs is needed. On the basis of previous discoveries elsewhere in Asia, it is suggested that the eggs described herein belong to sauropods, ornithopods, and theropods. The occurrences of Korean dinosaur eggs in diverse stratigraphic formations and sedimentological setting and in diverse morphotypes provide an opportunity to study the palaeoecologic and palaeoenvironmental conditions of nesting sites of the Late Cretaceous dinosaurs.
