70 million year old dinosaur fossils

Argentine scientists have discovered a fossil of about 70 million years old dinosaur shaped like a bird.

Fossils include adult dinosaur skeletons and some eggs are thought to remain in the abdomen at the time of the mother's death.

Fossil dinosaur bones.

Paleontologist, Fernando Novas, of the research team (fossil discovery with two Argentine scientists, Federico Agnolin and Jaime Powel), said the skeleton was found to have bone similarities of Nandu, the species Rhea bay originated from Patagonia (an area about 930 miles southwest of Buenos Aires, Argentina).

Fossil eggs are thought to remain in the abdomen when the mother dinosaurs die.

Novas interviewed that the interesting thing about this discovery is that it not only paved the way for new research on dinosaurs, but eggs also help scientists determine the reproductive methods of births. objects in Argentina 80 million years ago.

He explained, this latest study allows easy-to-follow scientists to monitor Bonapartenykus ultimus species in association with modern-day birds.

'The meteorite crash has destroyed most dinosaurs, but a large group of carnivorous dinosaurs with fur and large wings we call birds are still present. So we have a 230 million-year-long story so far with the current birds - like pigeons, hummingbirds, vultures or eagles - considered to be living dinosaurs . "
