Oldest Crocodile eggs found in Portugal

World's oldest Crocodile eggs were recovered by the team of Palaeontologists of Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal. These eggs are similar to that of modern crocodiles, there is the minor change in shape.

Joao Russo of Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal said, "The fact that they are from the Late Jurassic makes these eggs the oldest crocodilian eggs known so far."

Russo added, “The fossil record tells us that crocodiles and their relatives (forming the larger group of crocodylomorphs) were much more diverse in the past, with different feeding habits, ecological niche distribution or morphology.”
