Fossilized Dinosaur Eggs Discovered at Chinese Construction Site

"These eggs are large in size, and one even has a diameter of 13 centimeters [more than five inches]," Du Yanli, curator of the city's dinosaur museum, told the People's Daily.

It was unknown what type of dinosaur the eggs may belong to, however, they have been sent to the museum for further research.

Known as the "Home of Dinosaurs," the city of Heyuan in Guangdong province holds the record for the largest collection of dinosaur egg fossils in the world, with 10,008, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

On my 'Bucket List'...this would be right up there on the top 5! Would you if you could - go dig in the dirt to help an exploration/archeology dig unearth something close to this exciting?

And OP, interesting read....thanks!

seems that china has a lot of history with dinosaurs, they found the fossils that link dinosaurs with birds there as well, the first feathered fossils...

they have also been finding eggs in Montana as well..

(wiki):After a century of hypotheses without conclusive evidence, well-preserved fossils of feathered dinosaurs were discovered during the 1990s, and more continue to be found. The fossils were preserved in a Lagerstätte — a sedimentary deposit exhibiting remarkable richness and completeness in its fossils — in Liaoning, China. The area had repeatedly been smothered in volcanic ash produced by eruptions in Inner Mongolia 124 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous epoch. The fine-grained ash preserved the living organisms that it buried in fine detail. The area was teeming with life, with millions of leaves, angiosperms (the oldest known), insects, fish, frogs, salamanders, mammals, turtles, and lizards discovered to date.



think it relates to the mythical dragons from Chinese folklore?

Thats Dinosaur Poopie. It's nasty. Don't touch it!

I have a dinosaur turd in my fossil collection. They are known as 'coprolites'.

I'll take mine scrambled. With toast...

I see no one has noticed the obvious...that giving birth to fossilized eggs, is the REAL reason why dino's went extinct.

and i always thought was because they couldn't read...

hi cutie!
