Dozens of dinosaur eggs discovered by
construction workers in China

  • The Chinese city that boasts the largest number
    of dinosaur eggs in the world has added a new
    batch to its impressive collection. Construction
    workers unearthed 43 fossilized dinosaur eggs
    during road repair work in Heyuan city in
    southern China on Sunday. Major road repair work
    was halted as a team of researchers and
    construction workers jumped down into a ditch to
    dig out the fossils. Nineteen of the eggs are
    completely intact, with the largest measuring as
    much as 13 centimeters (5 inches) in diameter.
    Researchers said they will continue to examine
    the fossils to determine which dinosaur species
    they belong to. Most of the eggs in the museum's
    existing collection belong to oviraptorid and
    duck-billed dinosaurs, which roamed the earth 89
    million years ago. Nearly 17,000 dinosaur eggs
    have been uncovered in the city since the first
    group of fossils was found in 1996 by children
    playing at a construction site. The city, which
    calls itself the "Home of Dinosaurs," won a
    Guinness World Record for the world's largest
    collection of dinosaur eggs at its museum in
    2004.

    realized. Profits are crumbling, sales are

    decade ago. The world's largest burger chain
