Baby dinosaur curled up in an egg, found in perfect preservation
恐竜の赤ちゃんが卵の中で丸まったまま、完全な保存状態で残っている化石が見つかりました――
A fossil was found in which a baby dinosaur remained curled up in an egg and remained in perfect condition.
Such a paper was published in the scientific journal ”Eye Science” on the 21st.
It seems to be a study that sheds more light on the connection between dinosaurs and birds.
化石は７０００万年前のもので、中にオビラプトル科恐竜の胎児の骨格が保存されています
The fossil is 70 million years old and contains the fetal skeleton of an Oviraptor dinosaur.
This foetation was named ”Era Baby” after the name of the museum in which it is held.
赤ちゃん恐竜の骨は小さくもろく、化石として保存されているケースは非常にまれなことから、今回の発見は非常に幸運でした
This discovery was very fortunate, as baby dinosaur bones are small and fragile, and rarely preserved as fossils.
That’s what Associate Professor Dara Zelenitzky, a paleontologist at the University of Calgary Earth Sciences, Canada, says.
