Pseudomegaloolithus is an oogenus of fossil Megaloolithid egg from Morocco. It is known from eggshell fragments which are distinguished from other Megaloolithid eggs because of its thin shells, fan-shaped eggshell units, and the structure of the nodes and ridges on the eggshell surface. Some egg fragments from India , France , and Peru (some of which had previously been classified as Megaloolithus pseudomamillare) may actually represent specimens of Pseudomegaloolithus.[1]
