Fossilized dinosaur embroyo discovered intact

[PALADIN85020]

Came across this today and was interested because it's actually older than I am - by 65 to 71 million years or so.

This dino has been identified in China as an Oviraptosaur - a feathered and beaked type that would grow to about 6 feet long. These predate birds, but have many of the same features.

Here is a photo of the fossil - amazingly well preserved.



And here is an artist's reconstruction of how it must have appeared originally in the egg.



Thought you might find it interesting.

Popeye's could fry that up for a nice group dinner, at 6' that would feed a bunch of us.

My skepticism is very high on anything that comes out of China. which isn't fair to thousands of legitimate scientists! But it is very hard to believe any dating facts the Chinese come up with after the months that are missing in the Bat Flu timeline!

yeah, i love fossils...been snagging them for years....but like ivan mentioned above, if the chicoms say it, not so credible in my little mind.

they are so good at counterfeiting items it makes very little sense to accept anything chicom at face value.

I was just a boy back then, but as I remember, the shells were pinkish, not blue.

Blue if male, pink if…. OK, I'll get myself into trouble. Did they carry bird flu? :O

I'll bet that science could extract the DNA from that and produce live versions.

Then someone could build a theme park on a tropical island and make millions of dollars.

What could possibly go wrong with that?
