Scientists have unearthed 80-million-year-old dinosaur eggs, thought to belong to the largest land animals of all time, in an “exceptional” discovery. The archeologists made the discovery in Brazil, at the first titanosaur nesting site ever found.
Titanosaurs could grow up to 85 feet as adults, experts believe and would bury around 10 eggs at a time to allow them to brood. The nest, which dates back to the Cretaceous period, was discovered in an abandoned limestone mine in the rural area of Ponte Alta, near the city of Uberaba.
Experts believe titanosaurs were wiped out when the Earth was hit by a huge meteor, marking the end of the Cretaceous period. Paleontologist Joao Ismael da Silva discovered the fossils in Ponte Alta in the 1990s, but the results of the analysis of the eggs have only just been published.
It is the first dinosaur nesting site found in Brazil, with around 20 eggs measuring 12 centimeters in diameter discovered.
Mr. Da Silva said: “In the 1990s, I became aware of the occurrence of dinosaur eggs in Ponte Alta.
“In conversation with friends of mine who worked in limestone mining, I was able to recover some isolated eggs and, finally, an association of ten spherical eggs.”
