CHENNAI, India (Reuters) – Geologists have found a cluster of fossilized dinosaur eggs, said to be about 65 million years old, in a village in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, according to media reports.

The clusters were under ash from volcanic eruptions on the Deccan plateau, which geologists said could have caused the dinosaurs to become extinct.

Decca records ping.

The volcanoes did it!

I am getting tired of all the theories of dinosaur extinction......just say “we really don’t know” and leave it at that.

I know what you mean. But one thing does not preclude another. This may be a local phenomenon and the mass extinctions some others.

But then, I really don't know. ;-)

Send them to me. I’ll put them in the incubator, next to the chicken eggs!

Oh sure. And when they get too big you'll set them loose like the pythons and the boas.

I refuse to believe that it was a single cataclysmic event that cause the downfall of the dinosaurs. As we've seen, life has a way of weathering even some of the worst natural disasters.

If we look at the events prior to the KT extinction, we'd notice that dinosaurs were already on their way out.

What I can not fit into the FREEZER, my wife will pressure can. Dinosaur jerky, rack of ribs on the BBQ, I can taste it now!

That’s some really really old road kill, long before there were roads. I think I’ll pass, thanks.

Fossilized dinosaur eggs found in India...given enough time I’m sure they’ll be reincarnated as an omelet.

They are fossilized. If they hatch they will be stoned.
