Abstract
The dinosaurian eggshell localities. found recently in the Villeveyrac-Meze basin allow to precise the datation of the continental levels overlaying t he Villeveyrac Campanian series. They also provide informations on the oosp ecies diversity in the Campano-Maastrichtian of southern France. Seven Mega loolithidae species which are already known in the Air basin have been iden tified as well as a new prismatoolithid species, Prismatoolithus caboti.
