Eldorado Posted March 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2019 "About 115 million years ago in what's now northwest China, a female bird was on the verge of motherhood. But somehow, her life on an ancient lakeshore took a traumatic turn, triggering a pregnancy complication that killed the egg forming inside her and may have even led to her death. Entombed ever since, this mother bird is now a paleontology milestone: Named Avimaia schweitzerae, the newly described species is the first fossil bird known to science that contains an unlaid egg." https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/03/first-fossil-bird-with-unlaid-egg-found-enantiornithine/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
