Veterovata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Veterovata is a universal system for the classification of fossil remains of eggs[1]. There are three broad categories in the scheme, on the pattern of organismal phylogenetic classification, called oofamilies, oogenera and oospecies (collectively known as ootaxa[2]).
