Dinosaur eggs are from new species

Researchers have found a fossilized nest containing a new type of dinosaur egg, according to Anhui Geological Museum. The new dinosaur species egg, umbellaoolithus xiuningensis, was named after Xiuning county in the province, where it was discovered. The eggs can be distinguished from all other known dinosaur eggs, so researchers have classed them as a new dinosaur egg family. The fossils date to the late Cretaceous Period, about 145 million to 66 million years ago.
