USA children may not feel proud of the TY Rex only in USA but found in
India too. Bundles of eggs. Of the Dinosaurs.
Paleontologists digging in the Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh in
central India have turned up a massive and rare hatching site belonging to
a colony of titanosaurs, containing 92 nests and 256 eggs.
Located at the Lameta Formation, a sedimentary geological bed, the nests,
or clutches, were spaced closely, with each housing about one to 20 eggs or
eggshells. The intact eggs ranged in sizes from circular to sub-circular,
and in diameter from six inches to 6.7 inches, according to new research

from
scientists at the University of Delhi.
“Our research has revealed the presence of an extensive hatchery of titanosaur
sauropod dinosaurs in the study area,” said Harsha Dhiman, the study’s lead
author, in a statement, “and offers new insights into the conditions of
nest preservation and reproductive strategies of titanosaur sauropod
dinosaurs just before they went extinct.” KR IRS 27123
