Brbr A dinosaur embryo fossil preserved in perfect condition was discovered about 70 million years ago. Researchers involving Pean Wysumma of the University of Birmingham, England, have identified a perfect form of embryo in Oviraptor’s eggs 72 million to 66 million years ago in southern China. “One of the best dinosaur embryos found so far!”I told gtAFP.Br’s dinosaur embryo had its head and legs intact, and its back bent. This is a different form from other dinosaur embryos found so far, similar to the current new embryo, the researchers said. The crouching posture before breaking the egg indicates that the ancestors of the current birds were dinosaurs. The 27cm-long embryo was contained in a 17cm-long egg. If it had hatched and grown, it would have been a dinosaur 2 to 3m long, with a bone crest on its head, a snout similar to a bird’s beak, and hair. It is anropod dinosaur, which is considered to be in the middle of a dinosaur and a bird in the previous period. It has the nickname “Egg thief” because it steals eggs from other species and eats them.Br researchers believe that the eggs and embryos were trapped in a pile of suddenly collapsed mud and could be preserved intact over a long period of time.The dinosaur egg fossils where br embryos were found have been stored in a museum warehouse. The researchers believed that the egg fossils could contain dinosaur embryos, so they peeled off some of the shells and made a surprising discovery. “It’s one of the most beautiful fossils I’ve ever seen,” said Steve Brussett, a professor at the University of Edinburgh who participated in the study. The researchers plan to precisely analyze fossils using scanning technology.
