Dozens of perfectly preserved dinosaur eggs dating back 130 MILLION YEARS are unearthed in China

Link

A nest of perfectly preserved dinosaur eggs have been discovered under a construction site in China.

Up to 30 fossolised eggs were found by construction workers on Christmas Day in the city of Ganzhou, which is known in China as the 'hometown of dinosaurs', according to Chinese state media.

Archaeologists said the incredible eggs were about 130 million years old.

The workers were said to see a cluster of 'oval-shaped stones' in earth when they were breaking the ground with explosives.

A number of black debris measuring 2mm thick were seen lodged between the oval rocks.

Is this the first time dinosaur eggs have been discovered? I honestly don't know, but what a find and pretty incredible if legit. I am curious to see what comes from this..

Glad I'm not the only one...lol

My first thought was its pretty damn cool. My second thought was maybe they can get dna, make some clones and start a real Jurassic Park...lol

Yeah, cause we know how well that turned out.

Not sure about perfectly preserved ones, but lots of eggs have been found. I supposedly have a couple. My grandmother gave them to me. They were found in an old salt mine, in the 50's or 60's here in MI. I'm afraid to have someone look at them, because I don't know if I am supposed to have them. LOL


Very cool find.

Actually many of them have come out of China and from other places around the world. I actually own a Hadrosaur egg that was exported from China before it became illegal. You have to be very careful of provenance when obtaining one.

Find a used copy of "Collecting the Natural World: Legal Requirements and Personal Liability for Collecting Plants, Animals, Rocks, Minerals and Fossils by Donald Wolberg, Patsy Reinard" if you can. I think they are out there and it's a very helpful book on that.

Oh that is pretty cool, I had no idea you could purchase dinosaur eggs - or that they even existed.

But yes, especially coming from China, you've got to be real careful I would imagine.

Get them to a museum pronto...before someone tries to put them in soup as an aphrodisiac or cure-all.

a reply to: Blaine91555

Thank you, I will have to check that out. I'm going to have to go digging around the house to find them. I believe there is a piece of paper with them, that says what they are.

Oh no the Chinese will eat them these are the ultimate Century Eggs
