江西萍乡盆地晚白垩世恐龙蛋及其CT技术应用

江西萍乡盆地是我国又一个非常重要的恐龙蛋化石产地，本项目将通过对盆地内发现的恐龙蛋化石进行系统的分类学研究，分析萍乡盆地恐龙蛋化石类群的组合特征，与我国研究程度较高的几个恐龙蛋化石群进行对比；详细考察和厘定恐龙蛋化石的发现地点与层位，分析不同类型蛋化石在地层中的分布规律，首次尝试用CT扫描技术对蛋壳显微结构进行构建，分析这一技术方法的技术要求。本项目的实施将进一步丰富我国恐龙蛋的类型，建立萍乡盆地晚白垩世含恐龙蛋红层的地层层序，同时，为蛋壳显微结构的研究探索新的技术手段。

The Pingxiang Basin, in Jiangxi Province, is a very important dinosaur eggs locality in China. In this project, we will study the morphology and taxonomy of dinosaur eggs from the Pingxiang Basin, analyze the characteristic of the Pingxiang Basin's dinosaur eggs assemblage, and compare the dinosaur egg assemblage with other dinosaur egg faunas, which have been relatively well studied. We will carry out detailed surveys of dinosaur egg localities to accurately locate the dinosaur egg horizons, and reveal the distribution law of the different dinosaur eggs in the strata. A major additional focus will be the analysis of various dinosaur oospecies with the techniques of X-ray Computed Tomography (CT), and analyze technical requirements about the technology in dinosaur eggshell studying. Implementation of this project, we will increase the dinosaur eggs diversity in China and establish the stratigraphic sequence of the Cretaceous strata of the Pingxiang Basin, and explore X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) using to dinosaur eggshell microstructure.
