BEIJING - When the dinosaur eggs fetched $419,750 at auction in Los Angeles in 2006, a group of experts inspected a picture of the nest online and concluded it must have been smuggled out of China.
They reported it to the Chinese government, which sought the return of the eggs and began a five-year investigation with the help of the US authorities and the auction house.
Dinosaur expert at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhao Zikui, suspects the nest was made from parts of fossil eggs taken from other nests.
