Dinosaur whodunit: Solving a 77-million-year-old mystery
University of Calgary and Royal Tyrrell Museum scientists close in on mother
of one-of-a-kind fossil eggs
It has all the hallmarks of a Cretaceous melodrama. A dinosaur sits on her
nest of a dozen eggs on a sandy river beach. Water levels rise, and the
mother is faced with a dilemma: Stay or abandon her unhatched offspring to
the flood and scramble to safety?

Notes to Editors:

Copies of the paper and high resolution version of an artists' illustration
of the nest and possible egg-laying dinosaurs are available for media use.
