ALT1:... that Cairanoolithus (pictured), a type of dinosaur egg measuring up to 19 cm (7.5 in) in diameter, is too big to have been laid by the ornithopod Rhabdodon?

Passed GA the day before DYK nomination. Long enough, no close paraphrasing found (only mirrors of WP). The first hook is close to 200 characters and might be a bit confusing to non-experts, so I'd prefer ALT1 or 2, although strictly speaking ALT1 would need the ref right after the sentence "When Sellés and Galobart analyzed...". I don't have access to the sources, so accepted AGF. QPQ done, image has a CC-SA license. Good to go. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 17:02, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
