A team of paleontologists in India have given 256 fossilized dinosaur eggs
a close look, in hopes of better understanding how some of the largest
known dinosaurs bred and hatched.

The eggs were found across 92 titanosaur nesting sites in India’s Narmada
Valley, north and east of Mumbai, with the first clutches discovered in
2012. Now, researchers have published insights about the types of
fossilized eggs found in these nests, along with inferences about the
dinosaurs that laid them.
