Pachycorioolithus
[edit]- ... that Pachycorioolithus is a kind of fossil egg whose name means "thick helmet stone egg", a reference to its unusually thick external layer?
- ALT1:... that the fossil egg Pachycorioolithus is thought to belong to a bird because of how small and thin-shelled it is?
- ALT2:... that Pachycorioolithus is a kind of fossil egg native to China that is notable for having a three-layered eggshell with an unusually thick external layer?

New enough, long enough, QPQ done, and article is within policy. Two of the three refs used are behind a paywall, so I can't verify whether or not the article closely paraphrases those references and must rely on good faith that those refs directly support the quoted content. The hook is interesting and within policy. AHeneen (talk) 09:03, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
