Abstract
Several well preserved clutches of dinosaurs have been discovered in t he upper Kimmeridgian/Tithonian of Lourinha (Estramadur Province, Port ugal). Some eggs of one clutch contained embryo elements of a theropod dinosaur. The egg-shell resembles that of eggs which have been discov ered in the Upper Jurassic of Colorado.
