THE FIR S T well-k no w n discovery of dinosaur eggs was in Mongolia during the arly 1920s. Then in the 1970s,
Marion Brandvold found more dinosaur
eggs, a few even containing embryos, in
Montana, USA, at a 9-metre-high hill
called ‘Egg Mountain’. This was later
excavated by famous dinosaur paleon-tologist John Horner and colleagues.
Researchers have now discovered eggs
on almost all the continents of the world
(figure 1).
New egg sites are found each year
and the estimated number of fossil
dino eggs is in the millions. The best-known sites are in Mongolia, China,
India, Kyrgyzstan, Argentina, the US
