HEFEI, Oct. 20 (Xinhua) -- Chinese researchers have found a fossilized nest containing a new type of dinosaur egg, according to Anhui Geological Museum Friday. The new egg species, Umbellaoolithus xiuningensis, was named after Xiuning county in China's eastern Anhui Province, where it was ...
The egg was acquired in 2000, but put in storage. It was later identified as a dinosaur egg, and an embryo was found hidden within it.
A rare look inside a fossilized dinosaur egg found in southern China has revealed an exquisitely preserved embryo—and evidence suggesting that some of these prehistoric creatures had even more in common with modern birds than previously thought. A 72 to 66-million-year-old embryo found inside a ...

He assumed the dinosaur was stealing the eggs, so he named it Oviraptor that means egg thief in Latin, which fueled the generally negative public image of such dinosaurs. But by the 1990s, other experts had convincingly made the case that instead of robbing the nest; the Oviraptor was probab...
They also examined the fossilized bones of those three types of dinosaurs that were found on or near nests ...to determine their sex. You see, adult female birds, during egg production, produce a layer of spongy bone tissue inside certain long bones. And so did female dinosaurs of the ...
