Hi everybody,

Thank you everybody for answering my emails.
Fossilised crocodilian eggshells have been found by now in all the 
continents but Antarctica, and Europe is the continent where more reports of 
crocodilian eggshells have been recorded. However, the fossil record of 
crocodilian eggshells remain meager.

A revision of the crocodilian eggshells including material from all the 
extant species and fossil specimens is more than necessary, indeed.

As I promised to all of you I include the most important publications on 
crocodilian eggshells.

I hape this email answers all your questions.

Have a good weekend.
