Apheloolithus is an oogenus of fossil eggs from the Late Cretaceous Yuanpu and Pingling Formations of the Nanxiong Basin. Amateur paleontologist Donald Glut, in the appendix of his dinosaur encyclopedia, was unable to find the initial description of it, and speculated that it may not be a valid oogenus.{{Citation |last=Glut |first=Donald F. |title=Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia. 3rd Supplement |year=2003 |publisher=McFarland & Company, Inc. |location=Jefferson, North Carolina |isbn=0-7864-1166-X |chapter=Appendix: Dinosaur Tracks and Eggs |pages=[https://archive.org/details/dinosaursencyclo00glut_2/page/613 613–652] |chapter-url-access=registration |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/dinosaursencyclo00glut_2 |url=https://archive.org/details/dinosaursencyclo00glut_2/page/613 }}
