Fossilized Dinosaur Eggs and Skeletons Discovered in Northeast China

More than 70 fossilized dinosaur eggs and skeletal remains of dinosaurs have been unearthed in northeast China's Jilin Province.

Zhang Pulin, a senior engineer with the Jilin Geological Research Institute, made the discovery in the central part of the province.

Most of the dinosaur eggs are already broken or incomplete, and the bones unearthed including the animal's teeth, spondyle, ribs, and claws.

Geologists both at home and abroad agree that systematic studies into these fossils are needed and will provide important reference for research on dinosaurs and the evolution of mammals during the Mesozoic period.
