Baby Yingliang (YLSNHM01266) is a remarkably preserved dinosaur embryo discovered in Ganzhou, southern China. It was discovered in rock layers of the Hekou Formation, which dates to the Late Cretaceous. The embryo belongs to an oviraptorid theropod dinosaur, and the egg is classified as elongatoolithid.
The Egg and Them – Marshall finds an egg and Franklin hatches it into a baby T-Rex named Trixie. Trixie ensures her stay until she finds a mate. Trixie ensures her stay until she finds a mate. Moral Lesson : Being a parent is a great responsibility.
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]
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 ...
Beibeilong laid one the largest known types of dinosaur eggs, Macroelongatoolithus. Its eggs measured around 40–45 cm (16–18 in) in length and had ruggedly ornamented eggshell surfaces. The typical Macroelongatoolithus nest was ring-shaped with one or two layers of eggs, and the center was largely devoid of eggs.
Model of a dinosaur egg. Dinosaur reproduction shows correlation with archosaur physiology, with newborns hatching from eggs that were laid in nests. [1] [2] Dinosaurs did not nurture their offspring as mammals typically do, and because dinosaurs did not nurse, it is likely that most dinosaurs were capable of surviving on their own after hatching.

Cairanoolithus is an oogenus of dinosaur egg which is found in Southwestern Europe. The eggs are large ( 15–19 centimetres or 6– 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches in diameter) and spherical. Their outer surface is either smooth, or covered with a subdued pattern of ridges interspersed with pits and grooves.
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.
