A piscean egg clutch from the Late Triassic of South Rewa Gondwana basin, M.P., India

A microscopic egg clutch of probable piscean origin is reported for the first time from the Late Triassic Gondwana Supergroup. It was recovered from a red calcareous mudstone from the Tiki Formation of the South Rewa Gondwana basin, Madhya Pradesh. This find is unique because this provides the only example of fossilized micro-eggs which presumably had soft, parchment-like shells without hard calcareous layer, and also the earliest known fossil egg known so far.
