Dinosaur Eggs Found in China
April 22, 2015

While doing road construction in Hong Kong, China, dinosaur eggs were discovered! The city already has a large collection of eggs, and is proud to announce that they are adding to the collection.
They even call themselves the "Home of Dinosaurs", since winning a Guinness World Record for the world's largest collection of dinosaur eggs in 2004. The eggs were underneath a busy city street. A total of 43 were found, and 19 of them were completely intact. The eggs are considerably big, with a 5 inch diameter. Researchers are working and examining them to try and figure out what species they belonged to. Some of the eggs they have in the collection belonged to dinosaurs that roamed around 89 million years ago.
