It shows that the ‘Mother protecting instinct’ is powerful.

Whatever disaster was that hit them, she did not move!.................

It’s a shame that the momma didn’t have Greta around to warn her of the pending doom by yelling at the Volcano gods to producing so much carbon

In at least seven of the eggs, embryonic material was found exposed, including fossified bones in identifiable shapes.
One of the eggs may actually contain a complete skeleton, with its vertebrae, dorsal ribs, a humerus, both ilia and femora, and a tibia laid out in a curled position.

Oh WOW!.....You can see that in the photo!

The name, Oviraptor, means egg hunter. the first fossil found was assumed to be a predator, robbing a nest. That turned out to be wrong, the fossil was the mother of the fossil eggs. Whoopsie Daisy.

Does this mean that some dinosaurs died a SLOW death due to gradual changes in the composition of atmospheric gases as a result of a meteor or nuke strike by extraterrestrials?

It may be like Pompeii, the super heated poisonous gases hit them all at once and most died where they stood.................or in this case, sat...........

Jury’s out on that one. I’d guess this is a proto-Pompei, the nesting bird was smothered in a slow, gentle ash fall, and didn’t take alarm until too late, if at all..

I think it was the opposite. More along the lines of a biblical flood followed by a deep freeze.
