Fossil dinosaur eggs were discovered at a construction site in China

According to local newspaper Zhezhong News, the giant eggs were discovered by a team of excavation workers in Nghia O town last Thursday.

Dinosaur eggs were then sent to Zhejiang Natural History Museum, where geologist Du Tianming said they date from the Cretaceous period, about 145.5 million to 66 million years ago.

"So far, we have found 15 intact dinosaur eggs , " Du said.

Nghia is a center for manufacturing and exporting wholesale items such as socks, plastic flowers. But it is also taking advantage of the history associated with dinosaurs.

Last year, a dinosaur theme park was opened in Yiwu and another park is currently being built in Guanyintang, part of Yiwu. Incidentally, this is also where the latest dinosaur eggs were discovered.

Since dinosaur eggs were first discovered in the area in 1993, scientists have found more than 100 fruits, according to local authorities. Reptile footprints were also found in the area last year.
