Albert Garcia Selles, an expert of the Institute of Antiquities Miquel Crusafont Catalan in Spain, and colleagues found many eggshell, eggs and dozens of fossilized eggs in the Coll de Nargo region of Lleida province of Spain. Nha, SINC news agency reported.

Lleida was once a giant swamp in the late Cretaceous period. Coll de Nargo is one of the most dinosaur-containing areas in Europe.

"We have never found so many eggs in the Coll de Nagro area," Selles admitted.

Selles added that the eggs his group found belong to many types. That shows that many dinosaurs together choose an area to lay eggs.
