‘Abnormal’ dinosaur egg in India digs up new questions for evolution

Discovery leads to a new connection between reptilian and avian evolution
A team of researchers from the University of Delhi has discovered a unique set of fossilized dinosaur eggs, with one egg nesting within the other at the Dinosaur Fossil National Park, in Dhar District of Madhya Pradesh. While eggs-within-eggs are rare phenomena, they are so far known to occur only in birds and have never known in reptiles. This discovery brings out newer connections between reptilian and avian evolution.
The findings, published in the journal Scientific Reports, talk about the ‘egg-in-egg’ phenomenon in a titanosaurid dinosaur egg found from the Bagh area of Dhar District in Madhya Pradesh
Dinosaurs of the Sauropod family were among the largest land animals that have ever lived and were widespread millions of years ago in the territory that is now India. Fossils of these animals have been found in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh as well as Meghalaya.
The Upper Cretaceous Lametta Formation of Central India is long known for its dinosaur fossils (both skeletal and egg remains), and scientists, some of whom were involved in the team reporting the latest findings, documented 52 titanosaurid sauropod nests near Padlya village
The University of Delhi is the corresponding author of the published article.
