• ULTRASTRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL MORPHOLOGY OF EGGSHELLS SUPPORTS THE IDEA THAT DINOSAUR EGGS WERE INCUBATED BURIED IN A SUBSTRATE (2006, background): “…Mateus et al. 1997), hadrosaurs (spheroolithids, embryos; Hirsch and Quinn 1990), troodontids (prismatoolithids, embryos and adult; Zelenitsky 2000; Varricchio et al. 2002), titanosaurs (megaloolithids, embryos; Chiappe et al. 1998) and oviraptorids (elongatoolithids, embryos and adults; Norell et…”
• Dinosaur eggs and nesting behaviors: A paleobiological investigation (2006, unknown): “Interestingly, there is a line visible in SEM and that fluoresces under CL. It separates the upper section of layer 2 from the rest of this layer (Fig. 6B), a probable cause for the interpretation of three structural layers in T. formosus ( Varricchio et al., 2002 ).”
• General Palaeontology (Palaeobiochemistry) Avian eggshell mineralization: biochemical and functional characterization of matrix proteins (2004, background): “Fossils eggs, such as those from the Cretaceous theropod dinosaur Troodon formosus, show a porous eggshell structure reminiscent of those of avian birds with a mammillary and palisade layer [ 74 ].”
• Embryos of therizinosauroid theropods from the Upper Cretaceous of China: diagnosis and analysis of ossification patterns (2007, background): “ceous Two Medicine Formation of western Montana in the USA (Varricchio et al. 2002), avian embryonic bones of Gobipteryx minuta from the locality Hermiin Tsav I in Mongolia (Elzanowski 1981); an embryo of an enantiornithine bird from the Early Cretaceous of Liaoning in China (V14238; Zhou and Zhang ”
• A juvenile specimen of a new coelurosaur (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Middle–Late Jurassic Shishugou Formation of Xinjiang, People's Republic of China (2014, background): “However, embryonic specimens of Troodon formosus have the distinctly flat anterior tibial surface that is a synapomorphy of coelurosaurian theropods (Varrichio et al. 2002; Rauhut 2003a).”
