125-million-yr-old egg shell found in Russia


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Pieces of the broken shell still shaped as an egg were found on 8 August at Shestakovo-3 paleontological site. 

The fossilised shell was in the same layer where six years ago archeologists found a mass burial of Psittacosaurus, otherwise known as Parrot Lizards - extinct ceratopsian dinosaurs with a high skull and a robust beak that lived between 126 and 101 million years ago (Early Cretaceous). 

Back then there were four fully preserved skeletons of these dinosaurs found in the burial. 

The egg shell is currently at the field laboratory where a team from the Kuzbass Museum of Local History will determine if indeed it belonged to a dinosaur, or was from a primitive bird. 

If confirmed a dinosaur, this will become only the third such egg shell found in Russia.
