Clever girl
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!
Oh sure! Why is it always CHINA?! /s
I want a dinosaur. I want a cloned dinosaur now.
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?
If only it was fully encased in amber.
Tastes like chicken.

She died in place, most likely instantly.
Based on the artist depiction, the dinosaur was colored.
I think this makes the cause of death obvious.

Mother birds are amazingly devoted to their young. I once saw a mother duck trying to lead her 10 or so ducklings across a six lane rush hour highway. The mother was ducked down, is the only way I can describe it, and moving slowly, the chicks close behind. I only saw them for a split second as I flew by them in my car, just missing them. I highly doubt she made it, the traffic was too thick, but I will always remember her courage in not abandoning those chicks.
How big of a pan will I need to fry up those eggs?
