A fact from Ageroolithus appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 April 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Could someone check the thickness of the eggshells? The article currently states this is 25-36mm (i.e. at least 2.5cm / 1 inch thick), which seems remarkably thick for an eggshell. The cited source, ref 1, says "These eggshells are thicker than those of Megaloolithus aureliensis, and somewhat thinner than M. petralta from the type locality ( 1.12 mm to 2.09 mm; average 1.76 mm) or M. mamillare ( 1.2 to 2.2 mm, average 1.70 mm) from the Aix Basin." - so unless I'm missing something they're actually about 1mm thick, which sounds more reasonable...
