According to the statistics of China Vertebrate Paleontology (Dinosaur Eggs) published in June 20 15, there are 13 egg families, 29 egg genera and 65 egg species in China, ranking first in the world. By June of 20 19, the number of this group was updated to 16, belonging to 35 egg genera and 70 egg species.

In 1989, among the top ten places of origin of dinosaur footprints in the world by foreign scholars, China has four places on the list, namely Chaoyang in Liaoning, Zhucheng in Shandong, Otok in Inner Mongolia and Yongjing in Gansu.
