Amazing fossilized embryo underscores link between dinosaurs and birds
• https://newatlas.com by By Ben CoxworthBack in 2000 a suspected dinosaur egg fossil was acquired by Mr. Liang Liu, director of China's Yingliang Group mining and stone sales company. When the company's Yingliang Stone Nature History Museum was being constructed in the 2010s, the fossil was essentially rediscovered. The amazingly complete fossil embryo inside of it was then revealed.Known as "Baby Yinglang," the 72- to 66-million-year-old embryo was found in rocks dating from the Late Cretaceous period, in the Ganzhou region of southern China. Based on its deep, toothless skull, it was determined to be an oviraptorosaur, which were a likely omnivorous family of feathered dinosaurs.
