The interior of a dinosaur egg can be studied using CAT scans or by gradually dissolving away the shell with acid. Sometimes the egg preserves the remains of the developing embryo inside. The oldest known dinosaur eggs and embryos are from Massospondylus, which lived during the Early Jurassic, about 190 million years ago. [2] [3]
Fossilized dinosaur eggs displayed at Indroda Dinosaur and Fossil Park. Egg fossils are the fossilized remains of eggs laid by ancient animals. As evidence of the physiological processes of an animal, egg fossils are considered a type of trace fossil. Under rare circumstances a fossil egg may preserve the remains of the once-developing embryo ...
The previous record for the smallest non-avian dinosaur egg, according to Guinness World Records, measures 45-by-20 millimeters (about 1.77-by-0.79 inches). Discovered in Japan's Tamba City, this ...
A pair of Macroolithus eggs. Macroolithus eggs are characterized by large size, measuring 16 to 21 cm (6.3 to 8.3 in) long, and by their particularly coarse ornamentation. [1] [2] Their microstructure is not well defined in the literature, [1] but generally follows the typical elongatoolithid pattern: [2] The eggshell is arranged into two structural layers (the mammillary layer and the ...
Macroelongatoolithus is an oogenus of large theropod dinosaur eggs, representing the eggs of giant caenagnathid oviraptorosaurs. They are known from Asia and from North America. Historically, several oospecies have been assigned to Macroelongatoolithus, however they are all now considered to be a single oospecies: M. carlylensis.
Nipponoolithus rumosus is known only from a handful of isolated eggshell fragments ranging from 0.36 to 0.53 mm in thickness, just barely larger than a chicken egg. [1] [4] It is estimated, based on the eggshell thickness, that Nipponoolithus eggs weighed about 100 grams (3.5 oz), making it among the smallest fossil dinosaur eggs ever discovered.
The embryo-containing eggs - leathery on the outside rather than hard and calcified like those of birds - belonged to a dinosaur from Patagonia called Mussaurus from about 200 million years ago ...
