摘　　要：1993年至2008年是中国蛋化石研究不断扩展与深入的时期。这期间的研究更注重于解决盆地地层与蛋化石演化序列间的联系;开展了翼龙化石胚胎学研究;通过分子古生物学分析,尝试了获取古代DNA的方法;河南西峡恐龙蛋化石博物馆的建立,成为展示这一阶段进展的突出标志。特别是近几年来,通过大量资料积累,发现并揭示出恐龙蛋的变异类型与鸟蛋间的联系,由此填补了从恐龙到鸟的演化过程中蛋壳形态结构变化的空白。文中还介绍了我国白垩纪几个沉积盆地的生物地层和一些具有特色的蛋化石种类;提出了新的蛋化石分类意见,以及与蛋化石有关的生存行为方面的思考。The recent 15 years （1993-2008） is a period with marked progress in China＇s research on fossil eggs. Research of this area was focused on the relation of sedimentary basin stratigraphy and fossil egg succession in the sediments. Studies on pterosaur embryo contained in fossil egg; the first attempt to get DNA from fossil eggs by using molecular biology method are examples of this progress. The establishment of Xixia Fossil Egg Museum can be taken as a mark of this achievement. The research, among others, has revealed the similarity and difference in egg shell structure between dinosaur and bird, which sheds light on the evolution from reptile to bird. This paper gives descriptions to biostratigraphy of Cretaceous sedimentary basins and egg fossils from these basins; as well as new ideas on fossil egg classification and the behavior of the animals that may have relation to the eggs.
