Embryonic dinosaur fossils are very rare. Darla Zelenistsky, associate professor at the University of Calgary's department of geoscience has been looking at dinosaur eggs for twenty-five years and this is the first of its kind she has seen. It has been nicknamed Baby Yinkliang, denoting the Chinese museum where it was discovered. There have been so few dinosaur eggs and especially those that are preserved in a life pose and are complete. And, according to a posting yesterday from the journal iScience, this discovery shows the difference between birds and theropod dinosaurs. Image courtesy of dreamstime.
