TOKYO: Road work in the southern Chinese city of Heyuan was interrupted on Sunday when construction workers noticed something unusual in the ground: a fat stash of dinosaur eggs — 43, to be exact.
The discovery adds to an already impressive collection of dinosaur eggs discovered in the city, which calls itself “Home of Dinosaurs.”
The Heyuan Dinosaur Fossil Museum was recognized with a Guinness World Record in 2004 for housing the largest collection of dinosaur egg fossils. That record was 10,008. Now that number will grow by 43.
Among the newly recovered eggs, 19 were fully intact and the largest was more than 7 inches in diameter.
Why are there so many dinosaur eggs in Heyuan? Was there something appealing there for brooding dinos back in the day? Apparently, it has to do with the region’s soil.
