MASSIVE 65 MILLION YEARS OLD DINOSAUR EGGS HAS BEEN FOUND IN INDIA		10/08/2009
Indian scientists investigating an ancient riverbed in the state of Tamil Nadu in Southern India have discovered by change hundreds of dinosaur eggs. Scientists describe this find to be “very exiting” as it may offer more clues on the extinction of dinosaurs. The eggs are each 13 to 20 cm in diameter. They were found in clusters of seven to eight and were strewn over an area of 2 square km. According to the researchers, the eggs are estimated to be 65 million years old and were found in layers suggesting the presence of a major nesting site for leaf-eating sauropod dinosaurs. … The eggs were found when a team of scientists went to research an ancient riverbed in South India in the state of Tamil Nadu. Instead, the Periyar University team has come across hundreds of fossilized dinosaur eggs. They were discovered underneath a stream in the Cauvery river basin region in a small village in Ariyalur district near Tiruchirapalli. The finding took the geologists completely by surprise. The fist time dinosaur eggs were discovered in the region was in 1860 by a British geologist and in the 1990s a dinosaur egg was found in factory, writes the BBC. Further research “It is an exciting find and opens up several exciting possibilities,” said Prof. A D Ahluwalia of Punjab University, Chandigarh, for the Hindustan Times. The discovery could add new information or completely change the theory concerning the extinction of the dinosaurs. Samples of the fossilized eggs have been sent to Germany for further research and further verification.
