【Introduction】
There are about 50 Mesozoic and Mesozoic-Cenozoic basins and depressions with the total area of 63000km2, which accounts for 37.12 per cent of the total area in Henan province. They are mainly the Xixia Basin, Xichuan Basin, Liguanqiao Depression, Xiaguan-Gaoqiu Basin, Wulichuan Basin, Tantou Basin, Xiangcheng Depression, Ruyang Depression, Luoshan Depression, Pingchangguan Depression, Luoyang Depression, Mashiping Basin, Liushan Basin, Yangji Basin, Nanyang Depression, Rendian Basin, Waxuezi Basin, Sanmenxia Depression, Shenqiu Depression etc.
Based on “The Research on Geology and Paleoenvironment Evolution of Dinosaur Egg-bearing Red Rock Series during the Late Cretaceous in Henan Province” (1997), The book introduces the present situation and research level on dinosaur eggs more systemically and generally after together the study results of our own and other scholars in more than ten years after the 30th international Geological Congress. It mainly deals with the characteristics and distribution regularity of dinosaur eggs, the representative strata profile of dinosaur egg-bearing, the stratigraphic division and their correlation, the taphonomy and palaeoecology of dinosaur eggs, other fossils of cooccurence with dinosaur eggs and their association characteristics, analyses on red beds faulted sedimentary basin, the age of dinosaur egg colony, the geological boundary line of Cretaceous and Paleogene, Mass extinction of dinosaurs and catastrophic event on the earth, dinosaurs in Henan Province, and the ecological behavior and life mode, etc.
