Gekkoolithus is an oogenus of fossil gecko egg. Gecko eggs have not been well-studied, and their fossils are very rare, making classification of them difficult. Gekkolithus eggs are very similar to those of the modern Phelsuma delandis in size, shape, and structure.Hirsch , K.F. (1996). "Parataxonomic Classification of Fossil Chelonian and Gecko Eggs."
