Re: paleonet Small egg identification

There is a huge literature on fossil eggs and eggshells. In order to identify them one must make sections of the shell. Contact Emily Bray (Emily.Bray@colorado.edu).

Dear Colleagues-
 
I recently recovered some extremely small eggshells (about 2 mm in length) from the Middle Pleistocene Kapthurin Fm near Lake Baringo, Kenya.  These are lacustrine sediments with tufa deposits.  Any suggestion as to what could have produced such a small egg?  I have one complete egg and some broken fragments of shell.

Many kind thanks,
