'''Palaeooölogy''', also '''palaeoology''' or '''paleoology''', is the branch of [[oology]] focusing on the study of ancient [[Egg (biology)|eggs]]. Palaeooölogy has developed since 1868, when [[Wilhelm von Nathusius]] described the first microstructures from modern [[eggshell]]s. It has become a part of many disciplines and areas of study, such as [[Environmentalism|environmental]] and [[Conservation movement|conservational]] issues, [[Biodiversity|paleobiodiversity]], [[biomineralisation]], [[Poultry|poultry science]], and [[systematics]].
Since in the last two decades [[dinosaur]] eggs have been found on all continents except [[Antarctica]], several groups of scientists have begun working in this area.<ref>[http://www.lowellcarhart.net/ebay/papers/behaviors.pdf Gerald Grellet-Tinner, Luis Chiappe, Mark Norell, David Bottjer: Dinosaur eggs and nesting behaviors: A paleobiological investigation]</ref> Palaeooölogy is of particular interest for the study on the [[evolution|origin]] of [[bird]]s.<ref>[http://www.fairmontstate.edu/node/3406 Are Birds Living Dinosaurs?]</ref>
Advances in palaeooölogy are sparse, however, and remain disseminated across specialised areas of research. As a result, many discoveries which would complement each other remain disconnected.
