These discoveries are attributed to French paleobotanist Louis Charles 
Joseph Gaston Saporta (or Gaston de Saporta; 1823?96).  The fossil eggs 
attributed to the sauropod _Hypselosaurus priscus_ were found in 1869 I 
believe, or thereabouts.  There is a suggestion that these eggs may actually 
have been laid by a _Gargantuavis_-like flightless bird rather than 
_Hypselosaurus_.

Then of course there's the oviraptorid eggs discovered in 1922 in the Gobi 
Desert.

Unless you believe in reincarnation, probably not.
