Hatching
the Past: Dinosaur Eggs
- Section 5 - Theropod
Eggs
This section features a collection of elongated eggs of various
sizes. A case of mistaken identity when first discovered in
1923, they were attributed to the ceratopsian dinosaur Protoceratops.
The latest new discoveries (below, left) prove they are actually
from a theropod dinosaur misnamed oviraptor meaning egg thief.
Dinosaur artist Luis Rey brings the ancient scene to life. (below,
